    The amphitheatre is 133 m long and 101 m wide. 21 m high and composed of two levels of arcades, its exterior façade is divided into 60 bays. Numerous staircases and 5 circular galleries ensure optimal circulation.

    More than 23,000 Gallo-Romans attended the gladiatorial and animal fights on the 34 tiers, according to their social rank.

    In the Middle Ages, the monument was transformed into a fortress, providing refuge for the population in case of danger. Later, the interior was occupied by private homes until the 19th century. In 1809, the houses, chapels and château of the Viscounts of Nîmes were demolished to restore the monument to its former glory.

    Today, the arena offers a prestigious setting for numerous events. They host bullfights, congresses, concerts and sporting events.
