The amphitheater in Windisch in the canton of Aargau is an amphitheater that was built in the first half of the 1st century AD in the immediate vicinity of the Roman legion camp Vindonissa. With an extension of 111 × 99 meters, it is the largest facility of its kind in Switzerland. It is classified as a cultural asset of national importance. The first systematic excavations took place in 1897, and a year later the plant became the property of the Confederation.

According to the information column, up to 11,000 spectators were once seated here. It is certainly one of the crown jewels of the local excavations. Unfortunately, the police (as of 2024) have driven the homeless scene away from their previous location. "Individual" marginalized people and junkies have now chosen the amphitheater as their new meeting place.
