In this order:
- Nîmes - the world’s best-preserved amphitheatre.
2. Verona - also well-preserved, with more reconstruction:
3. Rome - just because of its size.
When you are in Nîmes, you find a wealth of other Roman structures right in the city, e.g. this wonderful temple:
And a few kilometres from Nîmes, there is another amphitheatre in Arles:
And also a Greek-style theatre:
And in the middle of nowwhere (near the ancient Roman city Glanum), these roadside beauties:
And the Roman pipeline that brought the water to Nîmes:
And then there is the city Orange, with a wonderful theatre:
And a nice triumph arch:
You see, it is not just the amphitheatre why Nîmes deserves the first rank.
