    Cryptoporticus, Arles

    Site: Arelate
    Type: Cryptoporticus
    Summary: The cryptoporticus, the lower level of the original Forum of Arelate, which was perhaps used as a granary or for other mercantile purposes, underlies the modern city. It is now accessed through the former Chapel of the Jesuits (a 17th c. structure).
    Date: ca. A.D. 1 - A.D. 300
    Period: Roman


    Plan: Comprised of a double horseshoe, the cryptoporticus contains parallel barrel vaults with ancient air shafts (or light wells), and remains of a 2nd c. A.C. temple on the northern corridor (remains of which are visible in Place du Forum).

    Dimensions: 90 x 60 m
