Obelisque d'Arles lies in what used to be in Roman times the Circus. That was a huge arena over which huge events, like games would take place. Today the arena is gone, as housing and other things lie on it. The obelisk was erected during the time of the Roman emperor Constantine II, the son of Constantine the Great. He ruled around the year 340. The location of the obelisk is the Place de la République, in front of the local town hall. It is a lovely sight and worth stopping by for a few minutes.

A very interesting statue of the great Paul Cezanne. It is located at the Place de la Rotonde, and is near the Fontaine de la Rotonde. It is a life-sized statue and as a visitor you might feel like going up close to greet the artist. Worth a stop.

Place Castellane is a late 18th century construction. In effect it's a large traffic roundabout at an important street intersection. However the beautiful fountain in the middle makes this a worthwhile visit. The area was originally the property of a very wealthy aristocrat (Marquis Henri-César de Castellane-Majastre), who donated it to the city. A fountain was constructed and reconstructed in later years. The sculptures on the fountain symbolise the three rivers of the region, the Durance, the Gardon and the Rhône as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Interestingly, the fountain incorporated a public wash-house, which was used by people to wash their clothes. This practice continued until washing machines started to appear and then people used these in their houses. The Place Castellane general area is quite lovely with numerous shops, including some nice cafes and restaurants. There are also bars and cinemas as well as other types of shops, even a Fresh Food Market. You can either walk there, as we did, or you can catch the tram, bus or the metro.
