Amphitheatre
An amphitheatre is a circular or semi-circular open-air venue with tiered seating arranged around a central performance space. Traditionally used for entertainment, performances, and public gatherings, amphitheatres are designed to optimize acoustics and audience visibility.
Historical Origins
Originated in ancient Greece and Rome
Roman amphitheatres (like the Colosseum) were fully circular and hosted gladiator contests, plays, and events.
Greek amphitheatres were typically semi-circular and built into hillsides to enhance natural acoustics.
