Roman stadium, Ancient Roman stadium in central Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
The stadium stretches 240 meters in length with marble seats arranged in 14 rows, accommodating 30,000 spectators during Roman events.
Emperor Hadrian commissioned the construction of this monumental structure in the second century, establishing it as a center for athletic competitions.
Athletes participated in competitions divided into men and boys categories, with events beginning through contests for criers and buglers.
The northern curved section remains visible at Roman Stadium Square, while the remainder extends beneath the main pedestrian street.
The stadium integrates architectural elements within the city fortification walls, featuring an underground passage with syenite pavement and drainage channels.
