Anfiteatro Flavio Neroniano

"This is the 3rd largest Roman Amphitheater in Italy -- the largest being The Colosseum in Rome and the 2nd largest being the Amphitheater of Capua. Located in the coastal city of Pozzuoli it is an impressive structure but easily explored in a matter of 1-2 hours. One of the most impressive parts of the structure is the underground where gladiators and animals were kept prior to fights. Down here you can find remnants of columns, lifts, and the pens where animals were kept and hoisted up to the arena above. You will also find models of how the structure looked at various points in history. After exploring walk around town, have lunch at a nearby restaurant, and enjoy views of the port. When visiting, we usually park at the paid parking lot down the street (location link below). As of January 2024 the website lists ticket prices from €3 - €8 depending on age and whether you choose a guided or free tour. Tickets are purchased on site."
