Just a stone's throw away from Caserta lies Capua, an ancient Roman city whose legacy lives on in the modern Santa Maria Capua Vetere.

Within this historical city rests the Old Amphitheatre Campano, the first of its kind in Roman times and second in size only to the Colosseum. It was here that Spartacus, leading a revolt of gladiators, established the first gladiator school under Gaius Aurelius Spartacus, training fighters for Rome's legions.

Today, the Amphitheatre Campano stands as one of Campania's best-preserved archaeological sites, echoing its original grandeur.

Embark on the exclusive “Capua Spartacus” private tour, where you choose the meeting point and pickup time to dive into this incredible experience with us. Opt for a private tour guide who'll reveal curiosities, legends, and secrets about various gladiatorial combats and weapons.

Spartacus remains an enduring symbol of resistance against oppression, as evidenced by the colossal success of the Netflix series bearing his name. Capua became the backdrop for “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” portraying a group of gladiators rebelling against Rome's cruelty and indifference.

In response to the growing interest in visiting the Amphitheatre Campano, we crafted a tour focused on this historical gem.

Explore the authentic Museum of Gladiators, featuring a reconstruction of a genuine gladiator fight. Then, marvel at the Mithraeum, a must-see site offering insights into a religion that once rivalled Christianity. Unearthed accidentally during construction, this treasure showcases the cult of God Mithras, likely brought to Rome by prisoners of war turned gladiators. Admire frescoes and seating dating back to the 3rd century AD.
