Om

Hurtige fakta: Romerne byggede denne arena omkring 200 e.Kr. til at afholde gladiatorkampe og dyrejagter. Gladiatorer kæmpede og blødte her, mens op til 14.000 tilskuere heppede fra stensæder med udsigt over Middelhavet.

Højdepunkter: Da gladiatoræraen sluttede, blev kristne henrettet her, og senere blev en middelalderkirke bygget direkte ind i arenas stenmure. Man kan stadig se de svage konturer af kirkens fundamenter presset mod det romerske murværk, en sjælden lagdelt historie i en enkelt ramme.

Insidertips

  • Walk the upper perimeter for the best photo angle showing the arena, the sea, and the cathedral tower in one shot.
  • Wear closed shoes with grip, the ancient stone steps are worn smooth and can be slippery.
  • Combine this with the Roman circus and the praetorium tower using the combined ticket, it saves money and time.
  • Arrive right when it opens to avoid cruise ship crowds that arrive mid-morning.
