Unique, world-class architectural heritage

This city on the banks of the Rhone is an absolute gem: it boasts exceptional architectural heritage that dates back to the Roman era, including its famous arenas, the Palais Constantin, the ampitheatre and the Alycamps – one of the most prestigious necropoles in the Western world. The Middle Ages also left a print on the city with outstanding religious architecture, including the exceptionally beautiful church of St. Trophime and its splendid cloister.
