Gladiators would fight in massive Amphitheaters. Gladiator fights weren't just for fun and games they were also religious ceremonies. The most famous Amphitheater is the Colosseum in Rome.

The gladiators performed at the amphitheatres, which were arenas for the gladiatorial games. The remains of 230 amphitheatres have been found throughout the former area of the Roman Empire: 90 in Italy; 34 in Tunisia; 33 in France 15 in England; 10 in Spain; 6 in Switzerland; 5 in Algeria; 4 in; Libya; 3 in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Germany Portugal and Wales; 2 in Croatia, Hungary, Israel, Scotland and Syria; and 1 in Lebanon, Morocco, Holland, Serbia and Turkey.

The most famous amphitheatre was the Colosseum in the city of Rome. It was the largest one and it had a capacity of at least 50,000 spectators. Its actual name was Flavian Amphitheatre (Amphitheatrum Flavium). It was named after the three emperors of the Flavian dynasty who built it. The nickname Colosseum his thought to have been derived from a colossal statue of Nero nearby which was called Colossus, after the Colossus of Rhodes.

The most famous amphitheatres are, apart from the Colosseum are: the arenas of El Djem in Tunisia (Tunisia, it was the 3rd largest in the empire) the Verona (Italy. the 4th largest and where operas are now held) Pula (Croatia, the 6th largest), Pompeii (Italy), Nimes (France), Arles (France), Leptis magna (Libya), Pozzuoli (Italy) and Uthina (or Oudna, Tunisia). The arena of Capua (Italy) was the 2nd largest, but very little of it remains.
