Well-preserved oval mound that once hosted gladiatorial combat and military processions. This amphitheater was built for the Roman forces at Isca around AD 90 and would have seated around 6000 spectators!

Imagine standing here nearly 2000 years ago, preparing to enter a stadium filled with 6000 spectators!  Maybe you were parading after a successful military campaign, or perhaps you were here to fight for your life in gladiatorial combat.  Either way, it was a big moment in your life!

9/10 Wonderful! (1,027 reviews)
We had a great room (complimentary upgrade thank you), Room No: 111. This is now our go to hotel in Bristol. 2 comments about the room. The room heater is noisy so had to be turned off at night meaning the room was cold in the morning and no heating in the surprisingly small bathroom.
