]]> The Colosseum is the first historical structure that comes to mind when someone mentions Rome, but did you know there are many ancient amphitheaters that look just like it? If you’re in the mood to discover near-identical twins of this historical landmark, here’s a couple you should keep in mind.

Pula Arena, Croatia

A visit to the best-preserved ancient monument in the Croatian city of Pula will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a Roman holiday. It’s one of the largest surviving Roman arenas in the world, and its four side towers are entirely preserved.

Amphitheatre of El Jem, Tunisia

Tunisia probably isn’t the first country that comes to mind when someone mentions Roman amphitheaters, but you’ll find one in El Jem. This city was once a Roman province called Thysdrus, and the Amphitheatre of El Jem is one of the best-preserved Roman stone ruins on African soil.

]]> Tunisia is one of the most beautiful countries of modern North Africa, but did you know it was ruled by the Romans for many centuries? That’s part of the reason why you can find Roman ruins scattered all across this country, and these three deserve a spot on your bucket list.

Amphitheater of El Jem

If you want to visit an ancient Roman amphitheater that looks just like the Colosseum, El Jem is the place to be. The Amphitheater is one of the best-preserved in the entire world—and is also one of the largest, with the estimated capacity is 35,000.

Baths of Antoninus

If you’re interested in exploring Tunisia’s Roman ties, Carthage is the best place to start. It used to be one of the most important centers of the Roman Empire outside of Europe, and the Baths of Antoninus are the best reminder of its ancient past.

Dougga

North Africa’s best-preserved Roman small town is home to many Roman ruins that led to significant archaeological discoveries. The list of monuments you can visit in Dougga includes several temples and Roman baths, and a well-preserved Roman theater.
