Roma

The oldest and largest of Rome's ancient arenas, the Circus Maximus hosted chariot races from at least the fourth century BC. It was rebuilt by Julius Caesar to hold as many as 300,000 people.

Huge stadium and must be a wonder in its time. It's hot when visited on midday. Best visit early in the morning or late afternoon.

Konstantina

Not too much to see. A big plain where the chariot races used to happen. There's some remains left on one side. A good thing to see the proportions! ???? Also there's a metro and tram stop to get here.

Rene T.

There isn't much to see, but it's a big advantage to have seen the movie "Ben Hur". Coming from direction Colosseum, you can get some drinks at the upper end.

Asta Umbrasaite

a perfect getaway place to walk your dog or play some outdoor games. Picnic ? I would suggest bring some wine , cheese and relax.

Russell Harrison

The wide open expanse gives some impression of what a deathly spectacle this place must once have been

Waytostay

This was once Rome's largest stadium (300.000 spectators) for horse and chariot races , athletic contests and wild animal fights. Great place for a picnic with family or friends on a sunny day!

An ancient Roman Stadium in which chariot racing took place. This historic landmark is now a park open to the public.

Evren Yigit

A historical place to visit, close to Coloseum.

Melissa Sheridan

Its a great way to escape the masses of people. Not a lot to see from a tourist point of view , but it leaves much to the imagination.

Thunder Cat

Runners beware - it is surprisingly difficult to jog around the Circo Massimo because of the gravel that covers most of the site.

Denise S

Great place for venues!

Eugene Matyushkin

If you want to see how great was the Roman Empire just visit one of its astounding ruins.

María Fernández

It's amazing how big it was... Maybe not a good visit if you're already tired or for people in wheel chairs

Jakub Lares

Nice green place. They are repairing main part.

Paolo Bianco

Great fireworks and concert

Kasia Gé

Not much left but buildings next to it are with it and give a nice vibe. Good place for a walk

Huge and impressive place

Hervé

It was the largest Roman stadium

Jenna Rose Robbins

There's not much left except the depression where the circus once stood. If you're on a tight schedule, I'd skip this one.

Giovanni Valli

With snow, you can ski ...

Apenas quedan restos.. Una gran explanada para pasear hoy en día. Suele provocar decepción ????

ローマ帝国時代に使われてた大競技場 。今でもイベント 等で使われることもあるそうだ。といっても実際行くと広大な敷地に何もない野原 みたいなのが広がってるだけで、雑草もはえてます。そんな感じなので近所の小・中学生が「地域 体験/清掃活動」などと称して草むしりに駆り出さされてる姿が目に浮かぶ。

Şakir Çakın

Biz bir koşu organizasyonuna denk geldik. Çok güzel organize olunmuş. Biz avm yapardık buraya. Yanında bir dondurmacı var mutlaka gidin.

Fábio Alves

Mais um dos pontos em que você começa a viajar no tempo, revivendo os diversos filmes que já assistiu sobre império Romano. É impossível não se emocionar.

Georgiy Mostolovitsa

Богато! Обязательно к посещению.

Roma'da,Aventine vePalatine tepeleri arasındaki vadiye inşaa edilmiş olan yapının bulunduğu alandan başlangıçta Roma'nın Etrüsk'lü kralları tarafından halk oyunları ve eğlenceler için faydalanılmıştır

Kanıt Vural

Circus Maximus sezar tarafından yaptırılmış en eski ve en büyük stadyumdur .Yapıldığı ilk zamanllarda bazı eğlencelerin düzenlediği, tekerlekli arabaların yarıştırıldığı bir mekan olarak kullanılırmış

michele greco

Qui si svolgevano le corse con le bighe riproposte in Ben Hur. Oggi è un grande prato con una vista mozzafiato sul Palatino specialmente al tramonto . Sul Circo Massimo si affacciano Bar e Pubs

Fabio G.

Al contrario di quanto alcuni dicono non è solo un "campo de tera", ma uno spazio verde nel cuore di Roma tra il Palatino e l'Aventino, dove echeggiano tempi di giochi e festa, da oltre 2000 anni.

Michele Castro

Lugar de entrenamiento de los gladiadores. El lugar está conectado con el coliseo por debajo de la ciudad

BBPlanet

Per la vicinanza con il Tevere, fu sede di attività sociali come le corse dei cavalli e i giochi, sin dalle origini della città . Qui sarebbe avvenuto il noto episodio del ratto delle Sabine . Read more
