Urban activity in Arles (2010)

The Place de la République in Arles has an Egyptian obelisk 15m/50ft high. It was found in the amphitheater and erected here in 1676.

On the north side of the square stands the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall) built in 1673-75.
Its bell-tower dates from 1553 and came from the building which previously stood on the site.

The square was filled with swallows soaring overhead. Such noisy, yet delightful birds!
