Its main purpose is to present the oval shape of the amphitheater and fragments of the stands, which is made possible by the aerial perspective.

The "View of the amphitheater" viewpoint offers a panoramic perspective of the ruins of the Roman amphitheater in Durrës, built in the 2nd century AD. It is one of the largest and best-preserved amphitheaters in the Balkans, capable of accommodating approximately 20,000 spectators. From this spot, one can admire its oval shape and fragments of the stands, which reveal the scale of the ancient construction. An early Christian chapel with 6th-century mosaics was also discovered inside the amphitheater. This is an ideal place for taking photos and observing the monument from a certain perspective.
