Arènes de Béziers

Arènes de Béziers is a large amphitheater with seating for about 13,000 people located in the city center. The structure functions as both a bullring and a venue for theater performances, concerts, and other events.

The amphitheater was built in 1897 under the initiative of Fernand Castelbon de Beauxhostes. It quickly became an important venue for classical opera and theatrical performances in the region.

The arena hosts multiple cultural events throughout the year, from traditional bullfighting displays to contemporary music concerts and theatrical performances.

The building sits in the heart of the city and is easy to reach on foot. For events, it is best to contact the website or local information centers to find out current dates and availability.

The venue presented the premiere of Déjanire by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1898. This event marked the beginning of large-scale musical productions in this Mediterranean setting.
