Verona - Amphitheater Arena di Verona

The Roman Amphitheater (Arena) in Verona, one of the largest of its kind, was built in the reign of Diocletian (about A.D. 290). Of the outer wall only four arches on the north side have survived. With its 44 rows of seating it can accommodate some 22,000 spectators; from the top rows there are fine views. The overall length of the structure was 152m/176yd, its height 32m/16ft.
