Glanum Les Antiques
To the right of the road from Saint-Rémy-de-Provence into the Alpikkes, in an open space in Glanum surrounded by plane trees, stands the impressive group of monuments known as "Les Antiques"; here stand the Monumental Gate, a souvenir of the foundation of the town, and the 18m/59ft monument in memory of Julius Caesar's two adopted sons, both dating from the first century B.C. The lower part of the square base of the latter is decorated with reliefs of battle scenes; above the base rises a temple-like upper part borne on columns. The reliefs on the frieze of the archway of the Monumental Gate and the coffered internal vaulting are notable but the reliefs on the outside of the walls (trophies, prisoners) are severely damaged.
St Paul de Mausole
Close to the Glanum excavation site and on the east side of the road is the former Monastery of St-Paul-de-Mausole with its Romanesque church and beautiful little cloister dating from the 12th C. Today it is, as it was a hundred years ago (since 1807), when van Gogh lived here, a psychiatric hospital.
