Numerous staircases and five circular galleries provide optimum circulation. Divided according to their social rank among the 34 tiers of seats, more than 23,000 Gallo-Romans watched combats between gladiators or animals.
The monument was turned into a fortress in the Middle Ages, forming a refuge for the population in case of danger. Today, the amphitheatre forms a fine venue for many events. It is used as a venue for bullfights, congresses, concerts and sports events.
