Roman Amphitheatre of Benevento

The Roman Amphitheatre features an elliptical shape with multiple levels of seating arranged around a central performance area measuring 90 meters in diameter.

The amphitheatre dates from the first century AD when Benevento held strategic importance as a major crossroads in the Roman Empire's road network.

The structure served as a gathering place for thousands of spectators to watch gladiatorial contests, theatrical performances, and public events during Roman times.

Visitors can explore the archaeological site throughout the year, with guided tours available that explain the architectural features and construction techniques.

Archaeological excavations at the site continue to uncover artifacts such as pottery and coins that document daily life in ancient Benevento.
