In the center of the city is almost a catalog of Arles’ historic periods and architectural styles. The Roman period is represented by an obelisque rescued from the Roman Circus; St. Trophime’s Cathedral, built between the 12th and 15th centuries, features a magnificent. Romanesque portal; City Hall and St. Anne’s Church both date from the Baroque period of the 17th century; the 18th-century Archbishop’s Palace runs along one side of the square and the former post office, built by noted 19th-century architect Auguste Véran, runs along another. Buy an ice cream from one of the vendors and sit near the square’s central fountain to enjoy it.
