Tarragona Amphitheatre, Roman amphitheater in Tarragona, Spain
The elliptical structure measures 109.5 meters in length and 86.5 meters in width, with stone seats arranged in tiers facing the central arena.
The amphitheater, built in the second century CE outside the city walls, served as a venue for gladiatorial contests until the fifth century.
In 259 CE, Bishop Fructuosus and his deacons Augurius and Eulogius were martyred in the arena during the Christian persecutions under Emperor Valerian.
Visitors can observe the amphitheater from two panoramic viewing platforms located on Via William Bryant, offering clear views of the ancient structure.
The complex incorporates three historical layers: the Roman amphitheater, a sixth-century Visigothic basilica, and a twelfth-century Romanesque church dedicated to Santa Maria del Miracle.
