The views from inside the Arena were as impressive as the outside or exterior views. The huge red ring in the center clearly marked the fighting area. The dark underchambers seemed to harbor ghosts of bygone gladiators. And the views over the top walls were never-endingly spectacular.

Later, when we visited the Arles antiquities museum (archeological museum), we found very illustrative models of many of Arles' major structures, along with historical views of how the structure was used during the Dark Ages.
