Roman amphitheatre of Martigny, Roman amphitheatre in Martigny, Switzerland
The amphitheatre features restored stone walls and terraced seating arrangements that demonstrate ancient Roman architectural engineering methods from the second century.
During Emperor Trajan's reign, this structure was built near a quarry to accommodate 5,000 spectators for entertainment events in Forum Claudii Valensium.
The structure maintains its original purpose by hosting modern performances, cinema screenings, and traditional Swiss cow fighting competitions called Combat de Reines.
Visitors can join guided tours of the archaeological site every Friday between June and September through advance reservations with Martigny Tourism office.
This amphitheatre stands as the sole remaining visible Roman monument in Martigny, marking the city's position along the Great St Bernard Pass route.
