Nestled in Vienna, this Roman amphitheater was uncovered in 1908 and swiftly swallowed by houses and walls. Built in the 1st AD, it's quite the sight, with an impressive outer diameter of 130 meters and an east-west axis measuring 79 meters. Sure, some of its original decorative bits are long gone, but this grey-haired beauty is a clear testament to the Roman architects' brilliance. Looks like only pieces of its former glory remain, yet this amphitheater still hosts musical concerts - just another odd little charm it's picked up along the way.
