Website
The Campania Amphitheatre is the most important testimony to Roman Capua (today Santa Maria Capua Vetere) to have survived together with a Mithraeum built between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, the remains of a thermal baths and cryptoporticus, a theatre, domus and funerary monuments along the Via Appia.
The city’s origins date to the first Oscan settlements in the Volturno plain. An Etruscan colony also settled here in around 598 BC and contributed to development.
Entrance also valid to the Amphitheatre, the Gladiator museum and the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Capua.
