Sutri amphitheatre, Roman amphitheatre in Sutri, Italy
The Sutri amphitheatre is an oval structure carved directly from the natural tuff rock of the area. It features three levels with ten entrance gates that allowed spectators to access the seating sections.
The amphitheatre was built between the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE when Sutri was an important point along the Roman Cassia road. This strategic location encouraged the development of public buildings to serve the growing population.
The amphitheatre served as a gathering space where local residents came together for games and public celebrations throughout the year. It remains a place where visitors can sense the importance of communal gatherings in ancient Roman life.
The site is relatively easy to reach, though some areas require climbing stairs to explore fully. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and allow time to climb and explore the different levels.
The steps within the structure are noticeably smaller than those in other Roman amphitheatres from the same period. This distinctive feature gives visitors an unusual physical experience when climbing and sitting.
