Alexandria

The only one of its kind in the nation, the Roman amphitheatre in Alexandria, Egypt, is a sizable circular Roman theatre. Although it is frequently mistaken for an amphitheatre, the location is more like a small Roman theatre than a vast sporting venue. Alexander the Great's tomb was originally the target of the site's excavations, but an Ancient Roman theatre from the fourth century instead was found.


The discovered ruins featured genuine Roman marble chairs, several courtyard mosaics, and even graffiti depicting the rivalry between local chariot team followers. Along with the theatre itself, the location also includes the ruins of a bathhouse complex, as well as a number of additional rooms and habitations.


Visitors can experience Alexandria's Roman Amphitheatre right now. Along with the more basic pleb galleries and 13 auditoria that might have been a part of the ancient university, the original marble benches, which could accommodate 700 people, can be seen.

The vast complex's floors are still covered in numerous columns and exquisite Roman mosaics, and visitors may also explore the nearby ruins of a Roman bathhouse and a villa known as the "Villa of the Birds" because of its exquisite mosaic artwork.
