Roman amphitheatre of Larino

The Roman amphitheatre features oval-shaped stone architecture with multiple tiers of seating and underground passages leading to the central arena.

Built in the first century AD, this amphitheatre served as an entertainment venue for 12,000 spectators during the Roman colonization of Larinum.

The amphitheatre stands as a representation of ancient Roman engineering methods and entertainment practices in the Molise region of Italy.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours that explain the architectural elements and historical context of the structure.

The amphitheatre's integration into the natural terrain of the Biferno Valley demonstrates Roman builders' skill in adapting construction to local topography.
