About
The Roman amphitheatre of Lecce, located in the heart of the city of Lecce in southern Italy, is a remarkable remnant of the ancient Roman presence in the region. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this well-preserved structure could originally accommodate up to 25,000 spectators who gathered to watch various forms of entertainment, including gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. The amphitheatre is partially excavated, with much of it still buried beneath the modern cityscape, yet its visible sections reveal impressive stonework and intricate detailing.
