Senlis amphitheatre, Roman amphitheatre from first century in Senlis, France
The stone structure features tiered seating arrangements and architectural elements characteristic of Roman entertainment venues located in northern France.
Discovered in 1865 by Félix Vernois, the amphitheatre received classification as a French historical monument in 1875 through the national heritage protection system.
The amphitheatre represents Roman influence in ancient Gaul, where up to 8,000 people gathered for gladiatorial contests and animal fighting events.
Guided tours operate on the first Sunday of each month from April through October, with adult tickets priced at 9 euros and reduced rates at 7 euros.
After its abandonment in the sixth century, the structure transformed into a quarry for building materials before becoming buried beneath layers of earth.
