Roman Amphitheatre of Cagliari
The Roman Amphitheatre of Cagliari is an ancient Roman amphitheatre, located in the city of Cagliari, southern Sardinia, Italy.
The structure, built in the 2nd century AD, was half carved in the rock, while the rest was built in local white limestone, with a façade surpassing 20 m in height. It housed fights between men and animals, of gladiators and other specialized fighters recruited in and outside Sardinia. It was also the seat of public executions. It could house up to 10,000 spectators, some one third of the Roman Caralis.
Amphitheatre passed into ownership of the city in the 19th century. This almost stopped its destruction, because the amphitheater was the source of most of the building materials in the city. Amphitheatre reinforced metal structures and is now used as a city theater space.
