The Roman amphitheater was a monumental building of ancient Benevento. Historical sources suggest that it existed in the year 63, because Nero witnessed a gladiatorial show in the city. The remains of the building were found in 1985 between via Munazio Planco and the Leproso bridge. Part of the building is buried under the tracks of the Benevento-Cancello railway.

What remains of the structure consists of two distinct parts: one, historically known, are three rooms incorporated in the west buildings of via San Cristiano; the other consists of some ruins in the appliances of the Campi house, east of this road. The latter were subject to archaeological excavations in the 2000s, but no results of the study were published.
