Saint Trophime -- Eglise & Cloitre

In ancient Arles, the St. Trophime church and cloister, stone buildings that were constructed in the 12th and 14th centuries, are just around the corner from the Theatre Antique. The cloister is in remarkable condition, with statues of St. Trophime all around, and several great galleries in the styles of the 2 periods during which they were built.  One gallery is filled with tapestries depicting the Crusades.
