The Roman Stadium lies in a natural hollow between Sahat Tepe and Taksim Tepe, right in the heart of the Main Pedestrian Street. It was built in the 2nd century AD, following the model of the Stadium in Delphi. With its impressive size, the stadium could accommodate up to 30,000 spectators who watched the athletic competitions. According to inscriptions and coins found at the site, Pythian Games, similar to those held in Greece, were periodically organized at the stadium. During Emperor Caracalla’s visit in 214 AD, the games were named Alexandrian, and during Emperor Elagabalus’s visit in 218 AD – Kendrisian Games. Today, visitors can see the northern curve of the stadium with 13 rows of seats, the northern entrance, and part of the track. Also visible are a section of the city wall, built in 172 AD during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, and the foundations of the Roman aqueduct of Philippopolis.

Since September 2021, the archeological finds of the Eastern Sector of the Ancient Stadium of Philippopolis, located in the building of the Star Gallery Shopping Center (H&M store at the Main pedestrian street), have been open for visitors. With the opening of the site, tourists have the opportunity to see all the exposed parts of the Roman Stadium - on the Roman Stadium Square, the archeology under "Excelsior" shopping center and the one under the H&M store.

Day for free visit: Every first Thursday of the month for students and retired people.
