Roman amphitheater built in the first decades of the second century.

Lecce's Roman amphitheatre was built in the first decades of the 2nd century, at the time of Emperor Trajan or Hadrian. It could seat up to 25,000 spectators. Discovered by chance in 1938 during the construction of the Bank of Italy building, it has been only partially excavated, with part of the edifice still under the buildings. It is possible to walk around the site and see part of the arena and lower tiers, with access doors. The site is currently the subject of a new excavation campaign.

An amphitheater, which has real interest only because of its location in the heart of the city.
