Historical place in the city center of Lecce. Easy to find. It is under renovation at this moment. Very old ancient tourism spot that is always full of tourists. Taking photographs need a bit patient. Recommendation of visit is during the weekend (Sunday) as it is quieter than weekdays.

I've visited dozens of Greek and Roman amphitheaters all over their ex Empires territories throughout Europe and Middle East, however this is the first (and probably only) semi-amphitheater. The layout is very interesting and unusual as there's only one half visible, which was excavated in 1930's. The other half will probably never be excavated as it's beneath the central square residential area. It is one of few free attractions in Lecce - the site is entirely visible from the street and from the tourist office beside

So hot day today is a pleasant place to stay with friends or anyone to share the joy of the squear and the many places to eat the local food, pasticciotto or a nice icecream.

Lecce was a beautiful little city, lots of nice architecture, hampered slightly for us due to renovation work happening, once its complete I am sure that it will be charming again, we did have sushi in lecce which was a lovely change of pace from pasta and pizza! The amphitheater itself is quite small but lots of other little things to do too while you are there!

It is certainly impressive and well-maintained. The part visible to the visitor is less than half, as the rest remains buried under other buildings in the square. It is thought that it could accommodate 12,000 – 14,000 It is located in the center of the city, Piazza di Sant’Oronzo. It was discovered in 1901. It dates from the time of Emperor Hadrian.
