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.

The artificial lake can be observed along the Gran Sasso state road 80 in the L'Aquila area.

At this site, you can see the ancient ruins of Amiternum, a city founded by the Sabines. Also in the area, in addition to the theater, amphitheater, and remains of a domus, you can see the remains of the ancient Via Cecilia, which connected Rome with the Abruzzo colonies in the present-day province of Teramo.

A border crossing in the province of L'Aquila located 1,300 meters above sea level to cross the Gran Sasso mountain range via state road 80, which connects the provinces of Teramo and L'Aquila.
