The Amphitheatre of Nimes is a remarkably well-preserved Roman amphitheater in Nimes, France, dating back to around 70 CE. This elliptical structure, measuring 133 by 101 meters and rising 21 meters high, exemplifies Roman architectural brilliance. Built of limestone, its facade features two tiers of 60 arches, blending Doric and Corinthian elements. Originally accommodating up to 24,000 spectators, its tiered seating reflected the social hierarchy of Roman society. During the medieval period, the amphitheater was repurposed as a fortress and later as a residential area. Today, it serves as a cultural venue for bullfights, concerts, and Roman games reenactments. Its enduring architecture, combined with its continued use, makes it one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters worldwide. A symbol of the region's Roman heritage, the Amphitheatre of Nimes attracts visitors from around the globe, blending historical significance with modern cultural relevance
