Catania Amphitheatre, built in 2nd Century AD, an ancient Roman structure located in Catania, Sicily. Once one of largest in Roman Empire, it accommodated around 15,000 spectators.
Situated between Piazza Stesicoro and Via Neve, much of amphitheatre remains buried under modern buildings and streets, with only portions visible at street level.
Excavations have uncovered only parts of structure, leaving questions about its full extent and features, of this significant historical landmark.
