Durrës Amphitheater, Roman amphitheatre in Durrës, Albania.
The elliptical stone structure measures 132 meters in length and 113 meters in width, with an interior arena of 61 meters by 42 meters.
Emperor Trajan ordered the construction of this monumental amphitheatre during the second century AD, creating a venue that accommodated 20,000 spectators.
The complex includes a Christian chapel from the fourth century, decorated with ancient frescoes and mosaics that represent religious evolution in the region.
The amphitheatre opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00, allowing visitors to explore the galleries, staircases, and underground chambers through guided pathways.
This largest Roman amphitheatre in the Balkan Peninsula features multiple levels of preserved stone corridors that reveal the engineering methods of ancient builders.
