Overview

Experience the Roman age in the most spectacular of the buildings raised in those days, the amphitheatre. Explore it with someone who really knows it. Because what stands nowadays is not exactly what was build 2000 years ago. You will then enter the amphitheatre and walk along its corridors and archways to explore the ingenious structure capable of connecting the external gates with the internal "vomitoria". You will discover the places frequented by gladiators and those used to house fairs. Will you perhaps forget to enter the "arena" as a gladiator would have done? And take a seat on the stonesteps as the spectators still do? After listening to the countless anecdotes related to the world of gladiator games, you will end our tour in the most hidden and evocative part of the whole amphitheater. And there, your free time will begin, so that you can stay in this extraordinary place for as long as you wish.
