This was the biggest cultural building of the city. It is 400m long and 100m wide and could hold up to 30.000 spectators. The most popular plays were the horseraces. Because of it's size it was constructed outside the citywalls.

It was constructed in the 1st century AD probably during the reign of Tiberius.

Today it holds an interpretive centre which makes it easier for to visitor to visualize everything.

Really impressive because of it's size, nowadays only the big mass of stone is left. All the details have long gone. But check out the little museum attached to it to get a good idea of how it should have looked like. It is just a short walk from the theatre and the amfitheatre so go and take a look.
