This is an avenue of undecorated Roman sarcophagi on the site of one of the ancient necropoli or burial grounds that were usually built outside the city walls for reasons of hygiene as well as superstition. It is one of those many places in Arles famous primarily because the fact that Van Gogh painted a picture of it. It is a nice place without being spell-bindingly archaeological although whether it is worth the entrance fee again could be debated. Again possession of a billet global might swing the decision. The elegant little church of St Honorat, dedicated to the fifth century Archbishop of Arles, at the end of the avenue is a modest late Romanesque building without much decoration.
