Amphitheater
The Roman amphitheatre is read from outside in the elliptical pattern of Via Anfiteatro Romano and later buildings. This free street walk shows how medieval Assisi reused the outline of an older arena.
This is a street-level lesson in how later Assisi reused an ancient Roman arena. Follow the ellipse of Via Anfiteatro Romano and notice where medieval buildings occupy the former seating area. Because the amphitheatre is visible only from outside, its interest lies in reading the urban shape rather than entering ruins.
What to look for
Assisi’s Roman amphitheatre survives chiefly in the elliptical pattern of streets and buildings around its former arena.
Useful to know
Follow the elliptical street pattern from outside; the Roman arena itself is not open for entry.
