Arènes de Lutèce

The Arènes de Lutèce are some of the only remaining ruins from the Gallo-Roman era in Paris (formerly known as Lutèce in French), along with the remains of the public baths at Cluny. Lying in what is now the Quartier Latin, this amphitheater could once seat 15,000 people, and was used to present gladiatorial combats. Constructed in the 1st century AD, this amphitheater is considered the longest of its kind constructed by the Romans.
