Flavian Amphitheater, Roman amphitheater in Pozzuoli, Italy.
The third-largest amphitheater in Italy features a three-story structure with stone pillars, semicolumns, and sixteen entrances leading to the main arena.
Built during Emperor Vespasian's reign in the late first century, the amphitheater was constructed by the same architects who designed the Roman Colosseum.
The underground chambers beneath the amphitheater contained specialized rooms for gladiator games and animal hunts, with mechanisms to elevate cages into the arena.
The amphitheater opens daily except Tuesdays from 9:00 AM until one hour before sunset, with admission tickets costing 5 euros for adults.
The subterranean section, added during Trajan or Hadrian's era, includes a 43-meter-long pit for raising large stage sets during performances.
