Aspendos Ancient Stadium
Aspendos Ancient Stadium, part of the larger Aspendos archaeological site near Antalya, once hosted athletic events, games, and public gatherings during the Roman era.
It reflected the great architectural skill of the period and had a capacity of 15,000.
Though less famous than the grand theater, the stadium reveals the everyday social life and sports culture of ancient times. Set among rolling hills and scattered ruins, it offers a quiet but powerful reminder of the city's vibrant past.
Visiting Aspendos provides a full picture of Roman civic life beyond performances and politics.
