Unique features include the well-preserved tiered seating and the striking double-tiered arches that showcase Roman engineering prowess.

Next on our journey is Saint-Trophime Church, an exquisite example of Romanesque architecture dating back to the 12th century. This church holds great significance as it was named after Saint Trophimus, one of Arles' first bishops and an important figure in early Christianity; it's recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its historical value. The unique feature here is the intricately carved portal adorned with biblical scenes that invites visitors into this sacred space filled with spiritual history.

Finally, we arrive at the Roman Theatre of Arles, constructed around 1 BC and designed to accommodate up to 10,000 spectators for theatrical performances and cultural events. Its importance stems from being one of France's best-preserved ancient theatres which reflects Rome’s influence on local culture during antiquity.
