Alyscamps

Walk down Aurelian Way where people have walked for two thousand years. See the burial crypts along the road of people that always wanted to be remembered by passersby.

This site is not as central as all the other historical sites and I wasn't originally going to see it until I noticed a photo in my hotel room that intrigued me. Alyscamps is definitely worth the journey if you have the city pass. It is very quiet and garden like and it is a very peaceful respite from the city.

I wanted to see Alyscamps because I’m a big Van Gogh fan. But this sight was so much more than that. 5 euros to enter and definitely worth it! Over 1600 years old!

I am so glad I went to look at Les Alyscamps using my pass, which is excellent value and allows you to visit several sites and museums across Arles. Les Alyscamps are only a 10 minute walk from the centre and the area is incredibly peaceful, with a beautiful church.

This is a remnant of what was once one of the biggest cemeteries of the ancient world, and a stop along the way to Santiago de Compastella. The romans, saints, pilgrims and artists are all gone so now it's lovely and quiet, especially in February.

A serene and interesting place with the main attraction an impressive multi level enclave of impressive construction and historical significance

An unusual and interesting place to visit, part of the old Roman cemetery with the remains of several more modern (medieval or later) religious structures. A long and thin layout, it is worth walking to the end just to soak up the atmosphere and see the number and variety of sarcophagi lining the path. Walking under the trees, you could be hundreds of years away from modern Arles!

Could be seen as a lure for van gogh fans. Really just a long walk with stone ruins and a small chapel at the end of the path. Turn around and go back

This massive tomb site is date back 4th century. During that time the graveyard is set next to city gate. During that time tomb is not allowed in the city wall. A lot wealthy people buried here. It is consider a popular site to buried. It is a large Roman necropolis. Where necropolis is defined as city of dead. It was popular that they ship some dead from other place to here from sea. Onetime it was buried in thee layer. Since it is wealthy people graves, these grave rob and dug out for the items that buried with them. When you visited this place, you will see a lot of empty coffins due to the same reason was robed. The coffins line up like a street straight line and lead to the chapel behind. This place is part of UNESCO world heritage site. There was a bishop buried here and his relic is now removed to a church nearby. van Gogh and Paul Gauguin have come to this place to draw the graveyard side by side. It will be fun to host an event for Halloween.
