Ancient Stadium of Philipopolis

Deep in the center of Plovdiv, no one can miss the Ancient Roman Stadium. You get an impressive insight with the 3D-Show; even right under the nearby H&M shop you will find ancient remains. Follow the path of the past, it's worth it.

Very nice and impressive place. How people did it 2200 years ago! Energy is very great and surrounded by great bars and restaurants.

Beautiful, but it is kind if hidden i. The city center. I wish the ruins were better preserved and made more prominent.

So bizarre that this is just sitting semi-hidden beneath a shopping mall. Would have been quite impressive in it's day, and is a very strange juxtoposition with the cafe's and fast fashion shops that are now just above it.

Roman archeological site, the Filippopoli stadium of Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Ruins of a great roman stadium which you can only imagine as the entire stadium is buried under the city center main street of Plovdiv.
You can see one end of the stadium which is accessible by the stairs.
There is no ticket here and the ruins are free to access.

Great ruins to visit, cool cafe. Staff was very kind and helpful. 3D show was cheesy but very affordable.

There are many historic roman ruins around the city of Plovdiv but it's amazing to think these date back to 7 AD. There is lots of information to look at. It may notook like much much the history behind these ruins is what makes Plovdiv one of the oldest cities in Europe.
Go here in conjunction with the many other historic locations around the city.

Like many Roman ruins, it seems like development around the city has progressed way ahead before it's discovery. The partial ruins of the stadium have been 'integrated' into the town and surroundings.
It's free to explore with a low fee for the 3D re-imagine experience.

Lovely place right next to a masjid also. Lovely environment was amazing

I really enjoyed how the ruin well preserved and naturally involved in the modern construction. Part of the stadium was hidden underground and part was displayed on the ground level. There is also a mini mock-up of the stadium on the square. Taking a walk around is definitely worthy of a short time of tranquility in this busy district.

It's free to see the stadium and visit the bottom area. You pay to visit the 3D movie screening of what it could have been like. You can only see part of the stadium similar to part of the theatre. It's amazing that part of it was preserved, as you can find parts of ruins all around Plovdiv.

Go down the stairs to have a better look, it was pretty awesome to see the scale

Great ancient theatre. Very preserved and in great condition. It's nice to see something that is 2000 years old and to imagine how people used to live. Defenetly a must if you visit Plovdiv.

Fantastic town full of history. Realy loved the restored houses and roman ruins. Great shops on high street.

A wonderful example of the classic Roman monumental architecture. It was only partially excavated, but gives you a really good picture of how it looked back in the days of its splendor.

A great place for everyone to visit, very well preserved and integrated within the cityscape. The infrastructure is new and there are all kinds of new features to enjoy. Definitely one of the keystone places in Plovdiv.

Ancient Roman stadium in the heart of on of the most beautiful cities in Bulgaria - Plovdiv. It smells on history, it gives some great emotions to see it and feel the atmosphere. One spot not to be missed. Very often there are some plays, events and festivals there.

Magnificent place from the ancient days of Plovdiv. Currently rich decorated according Chrismas and New Year holidays.

A 2000 year old Roman Stadium in unusually the centre of Plovdiv's lovely pedestrian area.Can be seen from the street but well worth going through Old Gate and down stairs to Stadium.Fascinating history and information.Restaurant in the Stadium too.Went with wonderful group of friends and tour guide;loved every moment.Highly Recommended.
