    The archaeological site of Amiternum is located in the Aterno Valley and was founded in the 3rd century BC. conquered by the Romans. The first settlement, located on the hill of San Vittorio, was moved to the valley during the imperial period, where you can still admire well-preserved witnesses such as an amphitheater, ruins of public baths and an aqueduct.
    Translated by
    The Amiternum amphitheater is a solemn testament to Abruzzo's glorious Roman past, located on the San Vittorino plain a few kilometers from L'Aquila. Built in the 1st century AD on the edge of the ancient Sabine city, it still retains its imposing elliptical structure with two tiers of arches that once accommodated up to six thousand spectators. Today, it offers a striking blend of the austere monumentality of ancient brickwork and the rural tranquility of the Aterno Valley.
