What's especially nice about this amphiteatre is it's location right by the sea. It hosted a Pagan temple, a Roman Christian church, then a Visigoth Christian church and then another medieval church, ... more »

Wonderful history with great view of the sea. Worth the entry fee. Be prepared if arriving on a weekday when the weather turns nice to see LOTS of school tours!

Excellently restored Roman ruins, visitors are able to go down into the Amphitheatre. Great cafes nearby with lovely ocean views.

Was raining when visiting however it is quite nice that you can see the entire amfiteatre for free from the nearby park.

Something out of the movies. You can pay to have a closer look, but its spectacular from the outside already. The park around it has free entrance. When you walk downwards to the beach the curved street, you have the best overall look onto the arena. In summer there are many events to attend, even with reenactment of gladiators fighting.
