Roman amphitheater of Avella

Built in the late Republican age, in the 1st century BC, at the end of the decumanus major (current Corso Vittorio Emanuele), the Amphitheater rests to the south-east on the remains of Samnite walls, to the north-west on a natural slope.

Among the oldest in Campania, it is compared to that of Pompeii not so much for its size (60 meters in length and 35 in width, therefore smaller) as for the material and construction technique in opus reticolatum of the yellow type.
