Roman Amphitheatre of Cagliari, Roman amphitheatre in Cagliari, Italy.
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.

Sardinia preserves traces of human settlement across thousands of years. The island presents prehistoric cult sites including sacred wells and burial mounds that show ancient rituals. Nuraghe towers from the Bronze Age still rise above the landscape, while Roman theaters and Punic temples mark later civilizations. Underground tombs carved directly into rock lie hidden in the hills. Mountain villages carry modern wall murals that tell political and social history. The coastline offers small coves with turquoise water and white pebble beaches between limestone cliffs. Caves along the coast display stalactites and underground lakes. Inland, canyons with tall rock walls cut through remote areas. Natural springs emerge from bedrock, lighthouses stand on headlands overlooking the sea. Abandoned mining complexes document industrial history, while protected islands and coastal reserves provide habitat for marine life and seabirds.
