Roman Amphitheatre of Catania
The exposed Roman amphitheatre lies below present-day Piazza Stesicoro. A street-level look reveals an ancient arena within the modern square, making this a worthwhile short stop even without access inside the remains.
Part of the Roman amphitheatre lies exposed below the level of Piazza Stesicoro. Looking down from the pavement shows the arena’s curved stone set against the movement of the present city. That view makes this a strong short stop for understanding how ancient Catania sits beneath everyday traffic and later buildings.
