The Roman Amphitheater in Alexandria, also known as Kom El-Dikka, was built in the 1st century AD during the Roman occupation of Egypt. It is located in the heart of Alexandria and was discovered in 1960 during the construction of a residential complex.

The amphitheater was used for various events such as gladiator fights, animal hunts, and public executions. It could hold about 800 spectators and was built using limestone blocks and imported marble from Italy.

The amphitheater was abandoned during the Byzantine era and later served as a quarry for building materials. However, some of the marble seats and columns have been preserved, and visitors can now tour the site and see the remains of the ancient structure.

Today, the Roman Amphitheater is part of a larger archeological site that includes a Roman bath complex, a small theater, and a residential area. It is a popular tourist attraction and a testament to Alexandria’s rich history and cultural heritage.
