The inside story
Nîmes, often dubbed the French Rome, is home to one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. Built 20 years after the Colosseum in 70 AD, its perfectly preserved external facade certainly packs a punch. Similarly to Rome’s stellar – and slightly larger – monument, Nimes Amphitheatre was once the site of gladiator flights and public spectacles. Get ready to discover its history as you walk around its ancient stone walls.
Inside, you'll find a labyrinth of corridors and vaults that once bustled with spectators eager for entertainment. Its oval-shaped structure is a testament to Roman engineering and ensures full views all around – perfect if you want to see a show or performance. Today it’s used as a venue for concerts, reenactments and festivals, bringing vibrancy to Nîmes' cultural life. You can discover more of Ancient Rome at the nearby Tour Magne and UNESCO site Maison Carrée.
