Milan amphitheatre, Roman amphitheatre in Milan, Italy
The elliptical structure measured 129.5 meters in length and 109.3 meters in width, with an arena space of 71 by 41 meters at its center.
Built between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, the amphitheatre served as an entertainment venue during Mediolanum's rise as a capital of the Western Roman Empire.
The amphitheatre hosted gladiatorial contests and public events until Christianity's spread led to the gradual cessation of arena games in the 4th century.
Located in Milan's archaeological park, the site has expanded to 22,300 square meters and contains visible foundation walls from the original structure.
Recent excavations revealed an underground hypogeum with two galleries used for staging events, along with numerous pre-Roman artifacts indicating a Celtic sanctuary nearby.
