The Roman amphitheater is the largest known one in Britain, as sat 7,000 people in its heyday. Today there is not a lot to see, but it is free to read the sign and get an idea of what it would've been like. It's located just off the city walls and next to the gardens, so though wouldn't make a special trip to see it, it is easy to see as a 5-10 detour from the wall walk or central Chester.
Historical site where the Roman amphitheatre use to sit. Approximately half of the original amphitheatre area is still visible but it is worth noting that the vast majority of stone, etc that is in place is replica. Still an interesting visit and you can still vaguely picture how it would have looked. Free to visit and roam around.
Highly recommended to all you must visit chester amazing places to stay and visit.

Chester's amphitheatre is the biggest known in Britain. It may have appeared in the third century. 7,000 spectators could have been seated in its structure, being considered one of the predominant symbols of Roman Empire's supremacy. It was positioned on the edge of the Roman site because events which challenged the contrast between civil order and anarchy dwelled in It.
Underwhelming, given it's previous size and significance.

Must visit if you're in Chester and enjoy history. It is the remnant of the largest amphitheatre in Britain. Very well excavated and demonstrated. It is not the Colosseum but you get an idea of how it functioned. The descriptions are good. There are usually groups of school children who enjoy enacting the Roman gladiators usually guided by a Museum staff.
Bought a guitar for my sons Xmas present . Very helpful staff .. played several guitars for me for sound quality .. bought an acoustic guitar .. excellent value thankyou.
