Largely underground and enigmatic, an example of unparalleled archaeological wealth, the Black Colosseum is located in Sicily in the heart of Catania. Although little known compared to the most famous Colosseum in Rome and Arena di Verona, the Black Colosseum is one of the major Roman amphitheaters. 

With a circumference of about three hundred meters, it is the second largest Roman monument after the Colosseum and is a unique example because it is made of lava stone and precious marble, a combination that gives a very special contrast.
