In April 1966, our archaeologists discovered the Amphitheatre of Durres, built around XIX centuries ago. For its existence was evidence even before the discovery. One of them was also an inscription found on the walls of the city castle, about the gladiators fight in the amphitheatre. The revealed work has elliptical shape, with the length shaft 126 m. and indirectly shaft 106m. Arena is 69 and 49 meters. The amphitheatre is a magnificent work of mind, talent and hands of thousands builders of that time. It is a significant evidence of the ancient traditions of our people in the field of construction of monumental works with gigantic dimensions.
