Roman Amphitheatre of Italica (Spain) — View Full-Size Image

The Roman amphitheatre of Italica (located in modern-day Santiponce, 9 kilometres north of Seville in Spain) was one of the largest in the Empire, measuring 160 by 137 metres (525 by 450 feet). It was built during the reign of emperor Hadrian (117-138 CE) and had capacity of 25,000 spectators, a surprisingly high number given that the city's population at the time is estimated to have been only 8,000.
