★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Intriguing monument, built out of volcanic rock. Not much can be seen because most of it is still under the streets and buildings around..that though only is something special.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just such an unbelievable hidden jem, whilst walking down the street just happened to look left through a window and couldn't believe my eyes, probably the best 5 euros spent, on hoilday to see such a well preserved amphitheatre.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It feels haunted, but in a good way. With a little imagination you can see the crowds rushing up the stairs, and the actors entering the stage. The city buildings that were built on top of it and the flooded stage add to the mystery. There is not much to see, but at the same time, the atmosphere here is amazing. If you are into ruins, you are in for a treat.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing piece of ancient history, well preserved for what it takes.
The surrounding buildings look a bit like corals growing on the other species to me - they are organically merged with the amphitheatre.
The place itself is full of information, the boards contain information in both Italian and English.
The only issue I had with the site is the fact that it seems a bit like a work in progress- some parts of the amphitheatre are well restored whereas the others seem like an ordinary ruin.
I recommend strolling alone through one of the corridors under the stands, to feel the awe of the history around - that was a cathartic experience for me.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive little piece of old history. Much more visible and preserved than other theater, as well as well immersed in the surrounding buildings.
The volcanic rock as building materials creates very eerie vibe.
