Description

The amphitheater, uncovered in most recent years, was one of the most imposing buildings in Serdica at the tail-end of the 3rd century. The amphitheater was erected to the east of the city’s fortified wall over the foundations of a pre-dating theatre to the south of the road, taking its course out of the East city gate. It had a large arena and tiers of seats only on the south side, benefiting from a natural hill slope.
