This amphitheater of elliptical form and impressive size welcomed up to 15 000 spectators

Inaugurated in 8 B.C., this amphitheater of elliptical shape and impressive size, 126 m on the longest axis and 102 on the shortest, with a sand track of 54 m long and 41 m wide, was mainly used for gladiatorial fights and welcomed up to 15 000 spectators. The track could be transformed into a pool to stage naval battles. At the north and south ends, you will find various outbuildings used for gladiators and for the confinement of wild animals. Explanatory panels (Spanish, English).

Visite de l'Amphithéâtre de Mérida, Espagne
Situé à Mérida en Espagne, l’Amphithéâtre se trouve à côté du Théâtre Romain. Même s’il est moins bien conservé que le théâtre, ses dimensions impressionnantes laissent imaginer les combats qui s’y sont déroulés. Un sens de visite permet de voir au mieux les différents endroits du site, y compris les dépendances servant aux gladiateurs et aux animaux sauvages. Les panonceaux (en espagnol ou anglais) apportent des informations intéressantes. Inclus dans les visites du Pass. A voir selon moi.
