Sight 2: Santi Quaranta
The Santi Quaranta are the remains of a long Roman cryptoporticus located in Benevento, between the San Lorenzo district and the rural area of Cellarulo, at a cliff on the left of the basilica of the Madonna delle Grazie. The building consisted of a system of vaulted galleries, of uncertain dating and use; More precisely, there was at least one long corridor to which two transversal, shorter corridors were connected.
Sight 3: Anfiteatro romano di Benevento
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.
Sight 4: Edificio termale
The name of San Cristiano is used informally to denote a Roman building, probably thermal, located in the Triggio district in Benevento, around the church dedicated to the saint. 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.
Sight 5: Chiesa di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli
