The experience
A **feat of ancient engineering**, the Arena of Nîmes is one of the best-preserved amphitheaters – it dates back to 100 AD, just a few years after the Romans built the Colosseum.
Of the 300 still-standing Roman amphitheaters, this is one of the biggest. At the peak of the Roman Empire, up to 24,000 people would gather to watch gladiator battles and animal hunts at _Les Arènes de Nîmes_, or the Nîmes Arena.
