Itálica Amphitheatre is one of the most well-preserved and significant Roman amphitheaters in Spain. It was built in the 1st century AD and could hold up to 25,000 spectators. It featured various levels, an arena, and a system of underground tunnels and rooms for gladiators, animals, and stage equipment. Perhaps the most famous use of the Itálica Amphitheatre in modern times was as a filming location for the popular TV series "Game of Thrones." It served as the Dragonpit, a crucial location in the series' seventh season. The amphitheater's well-preserved structure and grand architecture provided an atmospheric and visually striking backdrop for the pivotal scenes in "Game of Thrones." The historic setting added to the sense of grandeur and importance of the scenes filmed there.
