Roman amphitheatre of Aoste, Roman amphitheatre in central Aosta, Italy.
The rectangular amphitheatre spans 81 meters by 64 meters with a surviving southern facade reaching 22 meters in height and containing three rows of windows.
Built during Emperor Augustus's late reign after Aosta's foundation in 25 BC, this structure served as an entertainment venue for approximately 4,000 spectators.
The amphitheatre incorporates architectural elements including a circular orchestra area of 10 meters diameter and foundations decorated with Corinthian columns and marble.
Located in the heart of Aosta, the amphitheatre hosts summer concerts and performances, allowing visitors to experience entertainment in an ancient Roman setting.
The northern section of the southern facade remains intact due to medieval buildings that provided structural support throughout centuries of preservation.
