Description
Ancient stone columns and other architectural components, long disconnected from their original Roman structures, weather the centuries. This jumble of artifacts and much more are located next to the Roman Theatre in Arles a French city on the Mediterranean coast on the Camargue marshes at the mouth of the Rhone River. Arles has been settled since before 800BCE, later Romans took the town in 123BCE and expanded it into an important city. Today, many impressive remnants of Roman buildings dominate parts of the old town, while narrow cobbled streets, and shady squares are reminiscent of scenes from a Van Gogh canvas. In the late 1880s, Vincent van Gogh spent a little over a year painting some of his most iconic works there.
