Roman circus, Roman circus archaeological site in Tarragona, Spain
The ancient Roman circus measures 325 meters in length and spans between 100 to 115 meters in width, featuring vaulted corridors for spectator circulation.
Built during Emperor Domitian's reign between 81-96 CE, this circus remained operational until the fifth century as part of the provincial monumental complex.
The circus hosted chariot races with two-horse and four-horse carriages, accommodating 20,000 spectators in its three-sided grandstand arrangement.
