โAfter my second visit to Arles, I can say that I have visited all the inscribed structures and now I fully understand its OUV: (1) Amphitheatre โ very impressive, and I enjoyed also exploration of the interior. [...] (3) S Trophime cathedral and its adjacent cloister โ this was my highlight. The main portal is simply masterpiece! [...] (5) Cryptoporticus and former Roman Forum โ what remained is just vast corridors in the underground, but as it was almost 45 degrees outside in June 2019 it was very refreshing visit!โ
โI visited this WHS in May 2012. Although the Roman arena was the highlight of my visit, still I felt Arles had seen better days and now was pretty much neglected. It was quite dirty and the whole place didn't feel very safe in general.โ
