Church of St. Trophime, Arles
Church of St. Trophime, Arles, Romanesque and Gothic basilica in Arles, France.
The Church of St. Trophime features a magnificent Romanesque facade with intricate stone carvings depicting biblical scenes including the Last Judgment, complemented by a Gothic choir reconstructed in the 15th century.
Built in the 12th century on the site of a 5th-century basilica, the church served as a cathedral until 1801 and witnessed the coronation of Holy Roman Emperors Frederick Barbarossa in 1178 and Charles IV in 1365.
The church houses remarkable Romanesque sculptures on its west portal, medieval reliquaries, and Baroque paintings by artists like Louis Finson, representing centuries of religious art and regional devotion to Saint Trophime.
The church opens daily from 14:00 to 18:00, allowing visitors to explore its nave, cloister with barrel-vaulted galleries, and collection of Roman sarcophagi and religious artifacts.
The adjacent cloister combines Romanesque barrel vaults in its northern and eastern galleries with early Gothic pointed arches in the southern and western sections, illustrating architectural evolution within a single complex.
