Sarcophagus located on the forecourt of the abbey church. Called the Holy Tomb, it gives water that is constantly renewed. Tradition has it that it housed for a time the relics of the patron saints of Arles, Abdon and Sennen. An object of curiosity for some or an object of great veneration for others, it alone contributes to establishing the abbey's reputation. A white marble sarcophagus, it is the only preserved vestige of the early Christian sanctuary installed on the site of the Roman baths (Les Bains d'Arles). Above the sarcophagus is the funerary stone of Guillaume de Gausselme (early 13th century). The Holy Tomb is visible during the visit to the Abbey of Sainte-Marie.
