Magne Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

It was originally a sugarloaf-shaped tower made of dry stone, similar to that in the nearby Oppidum of Nages. With a maximum height of 18 m, it is part of the 3rd century BC. Chr. Walls built.
The Roman construction completely enclosed the dry stone tower.
In 1601, François Traucat, a gardener from Nîmes (who started growing mulberry trees for silkworms in France), was given permission by King Henry IV to excavate the tower because he was convinced of one of Nostradamus's predictions that he would find a Gallic one there Would discover treasure. On this occasion, the tower was emptied. The emptiness that we encounter today when entering the Magne tower, in the negative, restores the shape and volume of the Gallic tower.

Saint-Paul Church of Arles

Highlight • Religious Site

This neo-Romanesque church was built between 1835 and 1849 according to plans by the architect Charles-Auguste Questel. The approximately 62 meter high bell tower is impressive. The interior of the church featured traveling paintings by Hippolyte Flandrin, but the rose window is also beautiful to look at.
