Roman Amphitheatre of Ancona, Roman amphitheatre on Guasco Hill, Ancona, Italy
The Roman amphitheatre sits between Guasco and Capuccini hills, featuring twenty terraces arranged in three orders with a capacity of 10,000 spectators.
The structure dates from the first century during the Augustan period and underwent modifications in the time of Emperor Trajan to accommodate city growth.
The archaeological site represents the most substantial evidence of Roman architecture in Ancona, alongside the Trajan Arch at the harbor entrance.
Visits require advance group reservations through the Regional Secretariat of the Ministry of Culture, with contact available at +39 071 5029811.
The amphitheatre foundations incorporate elements of a previous Greek theater, making it an example of architectural evolution across ancient civilizations.
