Abstract

Lecce s historical character is expressed by its historical centre, rich in cultural and architectural marvels of the past. However, the symbol of Lecce s ancient origins is the Roman amphitheatre in St. Oronzo square, the core of the city. The amphitheatre was discovered during the construction of the building of the Bank of Italy by some workers in the early 900. In order to have pieces of information related to the structure of the amphitheatre, geophysical surveys were undertaken inside and outside it. In this paper, some of the interesting results obtained will be presented.
