Apartment building Le Colisée

The Arenas of Nîmes are famous for their age, architecture, heritage, Roman identity, ... And they stand in the center of the city as the emblem of its past. However, between ancient heritage and modernity, Nîmes does not fail to distinguish between its past and its future. Thus, over the past few decades, the city has equipped itself with very contemporary buildings and developments. Such is the case of the Colisée, which rises on the outskirts, at the very entrance of the city. Far from the historic center, it is a complex that guarantees modernity, its profile echoing that of the Arenas of Nîmes. Like a Roman amphitheater from the 1990s, the Colisée is the work of the very famous Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, the founding father of the so-called "Metabolism" movement. With an imposing profile and futuristic architecture, it is the contemporary showcase of Nîmes that reflects in the glass facades of the imposing complex. The headquarters of Nîmes-Métropole, the Colisée is characterized as a symbol of a whole territory open to the future and the gateway to a rich and dynamic city.
