As one of the representatives of the French Roman city of Nim, the Nim ancient Roman arena, built in the 1st century AD, is the most complete of the world's few Roman-era arenas, and Augustus the Great is the site to showcase the strength of ancient Rome. The 133-meter long, 101-meter-wide oval is designed with 34-story viewing steps to accommodate 24,000 spectators. In addition, the two-story facade of the arena has 60 arches, which showcase the classic Roman architecture. The arena was a hot spot in social life during the Roman reigns, when Nim citizens would enjoy bloody and passionate performances from lions, tigers and even elephants. To the gladiators, the Roman warriors were on this platform to show their strength and strength. With the fall of the ancient Romans, in the 6th century, the Visigoths turned the arena into a fortress to temporarily avoid the enemy. By the 12th century, it gradually became a place for residents to live and live; and by the 18th century, Nimroman Colosseum had formed a village of nearly 700 people, and it was not until 1786 that the government gradually restored the original appearance of the Colosseum. Today, travelers around the world can learn about the architecture that has the glory of the years through audio tours of the scenic area. The Nimro Arena is also the best venue for bullfighting, concerts and sports events.

    The Nim is a perfect place to preserve many of the ancient Roman ruins. Nim is one of the few remaining arenas in the world, and it is nearly 2,000 years old. The arena is still usable, with removable roofs and heating systems added.

    Nim Town, close to the Mediterranean Sea, is glorious and warm all day long. It is located in the cross road of history and interpersonal communication. It concentrates the wisdom of ancient Romans, ancient relics, and various kinds of ideas of ancient Romans. Nim, the name of the springwater elves, so Nim Town is full of fountains.

    The stadium was originally built in the 1st century AD and was originally used as a competitive venue but today it has become a theater. The arena is 21 meters high and has 2,400 seats, and the top 60 arches can be seen from the exterior, which is said to have been used as a military fortress in the 5th century AD. The performance venue in the arena is 131 meters long and 100 meters long from the north and south. Standing on the top floor of the arena, you can overlook the scenery of the entire Nim town. There are only two floors of the arena outside, but there are five floors inside. When you enter the Colosseum, the old man strolls through each floor and walks around the venue for a whole week. The photos do not reflect the real scene of the arena, only standing in it will feel its extraordinary! European Renaissance, the revival of ancient Greek, ancient Roman thought, culture and art, architectural art is of course one of them. A 2,000-year-old Colosseum can make people feel the contribution of the ancient Roman Empire to human civilization, right?

    The Nim Arena is a relic of the Roman Colosseum. It is now a bullfight venue. Every week there are wonderful bullfight performances. At the same time, there is also a bullfight museum, showing many bullfighters'clothes and equipment, as well as some wonderful pictures of bullfighting are very worth visiting.
