Roman amphitheatre of Purpan-Ancely
Roman amphitheatre of Purpan-Ancely, Roman amphitheatre in Toulouse, France.
The Roman amphitheatre of Purpan-Ancely contains preserved seating tiers, entryways, and stage area sections that demonstrate ancient construction techniques.
Constructed during the first century AD, this amphitheatre provided entertainment through gladiatorial games and public events until the fourth century.
The structure served as a central gathering point for thousands of Roman citizens who attended theatrical performances and contests in ancient Tolosa.
The amphitheatre opens exclusively on Sundays from 14:00 to 17:00, with seasonal closures from November through April.
This amphitheatre remains the single ancient monument in Toulouse that maintains its complete structural outline visible to modern observers.
