Eglise St-Trophime overlooks the busy Place de La Republique in the Old Town of Arles in Provence, France. Originally built by St Hilaire in the 5th century Eglise St-Trophime was named after an early 3rd century bishop of Arles - St Trophimus.When rebuilding took place in the 11th and 12th centuries the Eglise St Trophime was greatly enhanced by the beautiful Provencal Romanesque doorway of the west entrance.
