Durrës Amphitheatre

Durrës Amphitheatre is one of Albania’s most important ancient landmarks and among the largest Roman amphitheatres in the Balkans. Built in the 2nd century AD, it once held around 20,000 spectators and later gained early Christian significance through its chapel and mosaics. Set beneath the modern city, the site offers an intriguing glimpse into layers of Roman and Byzantine history. It is a worthwhile stop for visitors interested in archaeology, architecture, or understanding Durrës beyond its beaches.
