The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Pompeii (Updated 2025)

"Built in 70 BCE and one of the first stone amphitheaters, this huge arena hosted ancient games and today is a quiet spot at the far end of Pompeii where you can often escape the crowds, especially early in the morning or late afternoon; it's notable as the oldest surviving Roman amphitheater." - Matthew Kepnes
