Stadium of Domitian, Archaeological museum beneath Piazza Navona, Rome, Italy.
The Stadium of Domitian extends 275 meters in length and 106 meters in width, featuring brick walls covered with colored stucco and travertine facades.
Emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus ordered the construction of this stadium in 80 AD as part of an imperial building program following a devastating fire.
The stadium hosted athletic competitions including running, wrestling, boxing, pankration, and pentathlon events, with winners receiving Roman citizenship and tax privileges.
Located 4.5 meters below street level, the museum opens Monday through Friday and Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Saturday.
The structure remains the sole example of a permanent masonry stadium from ancient Rome, with a capacity to accommodate 30,000 spectators.
