Nowadays, it draws smaller crowds for bullfighting during the Feria d&#8217;Arles, as well as plays and concerts in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1981, <a href=\"https:\/\/designjaap.com\/?page_id=140844\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"140844\">Arles Amphitheatre<\/a> was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with other Roman and medieval buildings of the city, as part of the Arles, Roman and Romanesque Monuments group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building measures 136&nbsp;m in length and 109&nbsp;m wide, and features 120 arches. It has an oval arena surrounded by terraces, arcades on two levels (60 in all), bleachers, a system of galleries, drainage system in many corridors of access and staircases for a quick exit from the crowd. It was obviously<sup>[<\/sup>inspired by the Colosseum in Rome (in 72\u201380), being built slightly later (in 90).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a photographic impression of the <a href=\"https:\/\/designjaap.com\/?page_id=140844\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"140844\">Amphitheatre in Arles<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arles Amphitheatre (French: Ar\u00e8nes d&#8217;Arles) is a Roman amphitheatre in Arles, southern France.
