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.

The Roman amphitheatre at Chester was the largest in Britain. Used for entertainment and military training, there have been two stone-built amphitheatres on the site. The first included access to the upper tiers of seats via stairs on the rear wall, as at Pompeii, and had a small shrine next to its north entrance. The second provided seat access via vaulted stairways. The two buildings differed from each other and from all other British amphitheatres, underlining the importance of Roman Chester.

It's breathtaking to envision the Centurions \in action\ back in the day - well done to the lads from Time Time for making this site what it is today!
