Hippodrome

Hippodrome

Discover the grandeur of the Hippodrome, an ancient arena that once captivated audiences with thrilling chariot races and sporting events. Spanning an impressive 245 meters in length and 52 meters in width, this monumental structure could accommodate up to 15,000 spectators, making it a central hub of entertainment during its prime.

Though the exact date of its construction remains a mystery, historians estimate that it was built between the mid-2nd to 3rd century AD. Today, the Hippodrome stands as a testament to Roman engineering and culture, where you can immerse yourself in history.

Relive the excitement of ancient times with regular re-enactments brought to life by the Roman Army and Chariot Experience (RACE). Witness thrilling displays that transport you back to an era of gladiators and charioteers competing for glory before enthusiastic crowds.
