Review & FAQ:
The Roman Amphitheater was built in Cagliari, once the cultural and social center of ancient Carales. The structure is considered to be the island's most important public building from the Roman era. The architectural masterpiece was excavated in the 1860s. It covers an area of more than a 1000 square meters and has a 120 m perimeter. The facade is 20 m high and is decorated with columns and statues. There are three tiers that would have seated 10000 people. Underneath these were the animal cells, gladiator rooms and infirmary. The entertainment schedule included men pitched against animals in the morning, public executions at midday and gladiator battles in the evenings.
