Om
Raske fakta: Romerne bygde dette amfiteateret rundt år 200 e.Kr. for å arrangere gladiatorkamper og dyrejakter. Gladiatorer kjempet og blødde her mens opptil 14.000 tilskuere heiet fra steinsetene med utsikt over Middelhavet.
Høydepunkter: Etter gladiatortiden tok slutt, ble kristne henrettet her, og senere ble en middelalderkirke bygget rett inn i amfiteaterets steinmurer. Du kan fortsatt se de svake konturene av kirkegrunnmuren presset mot romermuringen, en sjelden lagdelt historie i ett bilde.
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.
