Almost 2000 years old Amphitheater in Lecce. One of the remarkable landmark. One should definitely come here in the day as well as in night time to see the vibe.

One of the most unique places I visited. The magnitude of architecture, history and culture that you feel when in this space, is just indescribable. We actually did not pay for entrance. There seemed to be no door enclosure and it was open to public. We grabbed some wine and enjoyed it sitting on the steps and thinking about what went on here years ago.

An amazing well preserved piece of history in the beautiful city of Lecce, Italy. The Amphitheater is completely visible from the street level and you have views from all sides. You can not tour the inside of the Amphitheater as of July 2022, the site is temporaryily closed. Worth a visit.

Very interesting place. I recommend visiting this in the evening (it isnt so busy, like it is in the middle of day)

Not big, but intersting it has been preserved in the center. I walked around and enjoyed the scene, but there were no visible information signs, only a small gate with a sign that it is temporarily closed for renovation. The sign does say guided tours avalable, but no indication of a price, or a ticket office. No real need to go inside, everything is visible from the outside, would be nice to have the history or background posted.

Shame the square was built over part of it many many years ago Under restoration but able to see from the main square

Anfiteatro Romano di Lecce: Where History Echoes! While we can only admire this ancient marvel from the outside, its grandeur is still awe-inspiring. The amphitheater stands as a testament to Roman engineering, nestled in the heart of Lecce.

I've visited dozens of Greek and Roman amphitheaters all over their ex Empires territories throughout Europe and Middle East, however this is the first (and probably only) semi-amphitheater. The layout is very interesting and unusual as there's only one half visible, which was excavated in 1930's. The other half will probably never be excavated as it's beneath the central square residential area. It is one of few free attractions in Lecce - the site is entirely visible from the street and from the tourist office beside

So hot day today is a pleasant place to stay with friends or anyone to share the joy of the squear and the many places to eat the local food, pasticciotto or a nice icecream.

Lecce was a beautiful little city, lots of nice architecture, hampered slightly for us due to renovation work happening, once its complete I am sure that it will be charming again, we did have sushi in lecce which was a lovely change of pace from pasta and pizza! The amphitheater itself is quite small but lots of other little things to do too while you are there!

Historical place in the city center of Lecce. Easy to find. It is under renovation at this moment. Very old ancient tourism spot that is always full of tourists. Taking photographs need a bit patient. Recommendation of visit is during the weekend (Sunday) as it is quieter than weekdays.

It is certainly impressive and well-maintained. The part visible to the visitor is less than half, as the rest remains buried under other buildings in the square. It is thought that it could accommodate 12,000 – 14,000 It is located in the center of the city, Piazza di Sant’Oronzo. It was discovered in 1901. It dates from the time of Emperor Hadrian.

Near the big square. U cant miss it

Magnificent structure🙌🏻 shame that the ticket office was closed temporarily whilst we were there🫤

Not to miss. Great evening stroll destination.

It was closed, but you are still able to look in.

In the middle of the town Lecce this Roman amphitheatre is like a centre point.. I did not see any preformance there, while I visited several times Lecce but I am sure it is used.

2nd century roman amphitheatre surrounded by beautiful piazas, monuments and museums of a pretty baroque southern Italian city of Lecce.

Gorgeous! You can see it as you walk by the shops. Half of it is still buried by the street - so cool!

Much smaller than standard but just imagine this to be a quarter of the size of what it was

Historical Roman Anfiteatro piazza, seated at restaurant cafè for trendy aperitif Spritz. Lovely atmosphere.

Central, easy to view. Thankfully not completely covered up by recent construction. Open 24/7. Note lower levels viewable at edge

Beautiful place in town

I haven't visited it so it's only an opinion of ehat I saw from the street. It's incredible how the structure remained intact and almost new
