Today named « the Arenas », the amphitheatre is  one of the world’s best-preserved Roman amphitheatres.

From the outside, visitors can admire the 21 metre-high facade and its 120 arches divided over two levels. Inside, the terraces, whether destroyed or reconstructed, help you to imagine the electric atmosphere that once prevailed here during the very popular gladiator fights, at a time when the site could hold up to 24,000 spectators.It is  listed as World Heritage since 1840. Not the largest amphitheatre in the world, but the best preserved .www.arenesdenimes.com
