While the once-huge 2nd-century Roman stadium is mostly hidden under a pedestrian mall, there are stairways from different sides allowing for exploration. A new on-site 3D movie (adult/student 6/3, child free; 10 screenings daily) offers an immersive experience of the stadium's glory days as a venue for gladiator matches.
