Lonely Planet review for Roman Amphitheatre

Below the ground level of Piazza Sant’Oronzo is the restored 2nd-century-AD Roman amphitheatre, discovered in 1901 by construction workers. It was excavated in the 1930s to reveal a perfect horseshoe with seating for 15,000. Nearby rises the Colonna di Sant’Oronzo, a statue of Lecce’s patron saint, perched precariously on the second pillar from Via Appia – the Roman road that stretched from Rome to Brindisi.
