The Verona amphitheatre is situated in piazza Brà, where the Tourists and Verona are seeing at Cafés around the Monument.

During the Roman era in the amphitheatre were the sought after fights between gladiators and those of men against ferocious beasts.

The Amphitheatre was built outside the original city of the Republican era. The Arena of Verona must have already been completed by about 30. a.D.

This Monument is formed of four concentric rings, the outermost today retaining only the four archways of the wing (Ala).
