Arena (Amphitheater), located on the Boulevard des Arenes, built in the 1st century AD. The fate of the Nimes Amphitheater is in many ways similar to the fate of the Amphitheater of Arles - after the ban on gladiatorial battles, it was fortified and turned into a fortress, and dwellings and churches were built inside. In this form, the amphitheater stood until the end of the 18th century. After being cleared of outbuildings, it was turned into an arena for bullfights, concerts and other entertainment events that are held here to this day.→
