The Veronese amphitheater is the third largest of its type, preceded by the Colosseum in Rome and the amphitheater of Capua. The elliptical arena inside the pit is 73 X 44 m in size, while it measures 152 X 123 m externally, including the superior wall. The perimeter of the wall is 391 meters. Of the outer ring primarily built for decorative reasons, only the famous "ala" (wing) remains and is formed by three arches on three tiers. Each tier consisted of 72 arches supported by 73 immense pillars built of square stone blocks. The huge outer ring collapsed in the 12th century after a violent earthquake. The second wall, which currently forms the facade of the Arena, is about 18 m in height and has two tiers with 72 arches each. The second wall is joined to a third, which is in turn connected to a fourth wall by way of a vaulted ceiling which forms a tunnel 9 m tall and 4 m wide that circles the entire amphitheater. From this tunnel several stairs pass through entrances called "vomitoria" to reach the marble steps of the "cavea", which are 40 cm tall and about 70 cm wide, on average. There are 44 tiers of steps. Today the Arena can accommodate a total of 22,000 spectators!
