     A Celtic city colonized by the Greeks, Arles became Roman after Julius Caesar distributed the land among his veteran legionnaires in 46 B.C. This was the first Golden Age of the city dubbed « Little Rome in Gaul », which became a major religious center during the Early Christian period. After suffering destruction during the invasions of the early Middle Ages, the city was rebuilt during the 12th century. The splendor of its medieval monuments is proof of the wealth and dynamism of the city at this time.

     During the 17th and 18th centuries many aristocratic town houses were built. They form today the core of the charming historical center, where the large number of listed monuments bears witness to 2000 years of history. In 1981 the Roman and Romanesque buildings of Arles were listed as UNESCO world heritage monuments. Arles is a member of the French network of Ville d’art et d’Histoire, and also of the European network.

     Arles is noted for the wealth of its Roman and Romanesque heritage. The monuments of the city listed as Unesco world heritage monuments in 1981 include the Roman amphitheatre (the arena), the Roman theatre, the Cryptoportico (foundations of the Roman Forum), the Roman baths of Constantine, the remains of the Roman circus, the cloister and portal of St. Trophime’s, and the Alyscamp cemetery. This cemetery was the departure point for the « Chemin d’Arles », also known as the Via Tolosana, one of the three medieval pilgrimage routes across France leading to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Along with these monuments, Arles has also preserved many lovely buildings dating from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Since 1986, the city has joined the French network organization known as « Villes d’art et d’histoire », guaranteeing quality cultural services.
