The Roman amphitheatre Arena of Verona is the most famous monument of Verona. Today the Arena of Verona is embedded in the city centre and is part of the backdrop of Piazza Brà, but when the Romans built it, it stood outside the city walls.
Verona's most important monument from Roman times, with its mighty stone steps and the central 'arena' proper, intended for gladiator fights, animal fights or other popular events and performances, was built of massive marble blocks in the 1st century AD, i.e. between the end of the reign of Augustus and the beginning of the reign of the Emperor Claudius. Among the monuments of this kind, it is undoubtedly one of the best preserved.
