Anfiteatro Scavi di Pompei Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Historic Arena with Unmatched Atmosphere

The Anfiteatro Scavi di Pompei, one of the oldest surviving Roman amphitheaters, offers a unique blend of history and live entertainment. Built in 70 BC, this UNESCO World Heritage site hosts concerts, operas, and cultural events, immersing audiences in an ancient setting with modern productions.

Seating Chart Overview

• Cavea (Lower Bowl): Closest to the stage with stone benches. Excellent acoustics but limited legroom.
• Media (Middle Tier): Balanced view and elevation. Slightly steeper angles provide clearer sightlines.
• Summa (Upper Tier): Affordable options with panoramic views but distant from the stage.

Best Seats by Event Type

Concerts: Sections 3-5 (center Cavea) for direct sightlines. Avoid extreme sides (Sections 1/7) due to angled views.

Theatrical Performances: Media Tier (Rows D-G) for full-stage visibility without neck strain.

Seat View Tips

• Columns in ancient walkways may partially obstruct side sections.
• Evening events offer natural acoustics; rear Summa seats still sound crisp.
• Bring cushions for stone seating—comfort varies by section.

VIP & Accessibility

VIP packages include cushioned seating in prime Cavea locations with exclusive entry. Accessible seating is available near entrances with companion seats. Early booking recommended for limited wheelchair spaces.

Budget-Friendly Choices

Summa Tier’s elevated sightlines offer great value. For intimacy on a budget, aim for side Cavea seats near the stage corners.
