Quadriportico of the Theatre of Pompeii, Ancient Roman theatre portico in Pompei, Italy
The Quadriportico features four covered walkways with columns surrounding an open courtyard adjacent to the main theatre building in Pompei.
Initially constructed as a leisure space for theatre audiences in the 2nd century BC, the structure later transformed into quarters for gladiator training.
The colonnade design of the Quadriportico exemplifies Roman architectural principles of combining functionality with social gathering spaces near entertainment venues.
Visitors reach the Quadriportico through the archaeological site's Regio VIII, following signs that lead to the theatre complex section.
Archaeological excavations revealed specific training areas and living quarters within the portico structure, indicating its dual purpose throughout Roman history.
