Roman Amphitheatre of Cagliari

The amphitheatre features stone corridors and tiers carved into the bedrock of Buon Cammino Hill, with dimensions of 93 by 80 meters.

Engineers constructed this amphitheatre between the first and second centuries AD, incorporating local white limestone and natural rock formations into the design.

The seating arrangement divided spectators into three distinct sections based on social status, with separate areas for senators, equites, and general public.

Visitors can access the site through an 80-meter walkway that provides exterior views, while interior areas remain closed for ongoing restoration work.

The structure includes an advanced water collection system that directed rainfall through gutters into large underground storage tanks for later use.
