Roman Stadium of Plovdiv

The Roman Stadium in Plovdiv is a well-preserved ancient stadium that was used for athletic competitions.
It stretches for a length of about 240 meters.
The stadium was built in the 2nd century during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian.

It was mainly used for athletic competitions and other public events.
Despite the centuries, the stadium is well preserved and is an important historical landmark.

The Colosseum (ancient name: Amphitheatrum Novum or Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian: Colosseo, Anfiteatro Flavio) is the largest of the amphitheatres built in ancient Rome, the largest enclosed building of Roman antiquity, and still the largest amphitheatre ever built in the world. Built between 72 and 80 AD, the Colosseum served as the venue for mostly extremely cruel and brutal events organized by members of the imperial family for the entertainment and amusement of the free residents of Rome and the Roman Empire, with admission free of charge. Today, the ruins of the building are one of the city's landmarks and a testament to the sophisticated architecture of the Romans in ancient times.
