Archaeological Sites Arco di Traiano The Arch of Trajan in Ancona represents one of the most precious monumental testimonies of the Roman Marche. The monument, dates back to 100 or 116 AD, is in excellent state of preservation. The gates that once overlooked it were removed.
Archaeological Sites Anfiteatro Romano (I sec) The Roman Amphitheater of Ancona was erected between the end of the first century BC and the beginning of the second century AD. The amphitheater could accommodate from 7,000 to 10000 spectators. Later it was no longer used as a performance building, but rather assumed the role of a fortress. Currently the appearance of the Amphitheater is that of an ongoing construction site due to the historical and urban layering of the area, with the overlapping of buildings such as the Church of San Gregorio and the Convent of San Bartolomeo.
