Roman amphitheatre of Florence, Ancient Roman amphitheatre in central Florence, Italy.
The elliptical structure stretches across 126 meters in diameter between Piazza dei Peruzzi, Via De' Bentaccordi, and Via Torta in Florence.
Built between 124 and 130 AD outside the walls of Florentia, this amphitheatre marked the easternmost expansion point of the Roman settlement.
The amphitheatre hosted public spectacles and gladiatorial contests, with a capacity to accommodate 20,000 spectators during the Roman period.
The remains of the ancient structure are visible along Via De' Bentaccordi, where medieval buildings incorporated parts of the original walls.
A reconstruction model of the amphitheatre and related artifacts from the Roman era are displayed in the Museo di Firenze com'era.
