Within a block of each other, we have encountered the spectacular vaulted ceilings of Eglise St. Trophime, and a prison where justice was meted out in the 13th century, adjacent to the city hall.

The proximity of these two buildings isn't that surprising, but when the front doors were open yesterday, we walked inside, and discovered a dungeon that was used to hold Arlesiennes before they were shipped off to Nazi death camps. That was very sobering.
