If you want to see a wonderful example of a Roman amphitheatre this is not it. It is really the site of an amphitheatre that is now a modern concrete construction that has some of the architecture remaining. Go to Arles, where the museum and amphitheatre are superb.

Very little of the original amphitheater left. We paid to watch them set up for a concert and that was about it. No sense of the history of the place. Have a look from outside while having a glass of wine at the bar ..... much better idea
Amazing. Modern architecture blended with Roman remains really well. Plaques everywhere explaining the history.
Either rebuild the theatre in the old roman style as looked like back in the days or leave the ruins as the are. But the way they built ugly concreate on to the old walls is an insult to the history this site is telling and to the poeple who built it....
Very quiet and reasonable price to enter too, not a great deal to read when walking around and they have tried to keep it open by using lots of concrete which is abit of a shame as it takes away from the historic parts
A modern architecture built upon Roman ruins. It was built at the end of 1st century AD. It was the playground of gladiators before the ban of gladiators fights in 4th century and remained unused since then. Though the restoration process lost the original structure of the building, it is a nice place to roam around with glimpses of history.
The restoring work it's awful.... It's a shame they didn't keep the actual real aspect of it. Dommage
Cool concept. I can also understand why locals are sad about wasting such history piece as this is lacking of protection.
