O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Once capable of seating 50,000 spectators, this ancient amphitheater hosted gladiator contests, wild animal hunts, and even mock sea battles. The elliptical structure measures 189 by 156 meters and towers 48 meters high, making it the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire.
Zajímavosti: Hidden beneath the arena floor lies a complex network of underground tunnels where gladiators and animals awaited their turn to perform, giving you a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes drama. The vivid bloodstains still visible on some stones tell raw stories of the fierce battles that took place here.
Insider tipy
- Wear comfortable shoes as the uneven stone floors can be slippery and tiring.
- Capture best photos from the upper tiers for panoramic views of the arena.
- Skip the guided audio tour if you prefer a relaxed pace; focus instead on the underground area where fewer visitors linger.
- Purchase tickets online in advance to dodge long entry lines.
