It was used for events such as gladiatorial games, public executions, and fights between men and animals. The amphitheatre could house up to 10,000 spectators and was divided into three orders of seating for different social classes. Today, it is open as a tourist attraction and hosts local musical events. Visitors can walk around the site and enjoy a close view of the ancient amphitheatre
