Excavations:
A slate was found in 1919 not far away from the Government building in Sofia. It depicted gladiator fights between men and predators. This artifact was a sure sign that there was a gladiator fights arena on the territory of ancient Serdica (modern Sofia). It was a known fact eversince that the amphitheater existed but its exact whereabouts were not clear.
Serdica used to be an important trade and political center in the past. The large and well-developed city was built like Rome, with broad cobbled streets, a forum, beautiful shrines and imposing buildings with a magnificent decoration. At that time Serdica was the capital city of the Eastern internal province Dakia – a part of the Great Roman Empire.

Some 85 years after the finding of the slate, in 2004, a wall from Roman times was accidentally discovered during construction works of the newest hotel of the FPI Hotels & Resorts chain – Arena di Serdica. Archaeological excavation commenced. Archaeologist Zharin Velichkov, head of the project, had no doubt – what was found was the Amphitheater of Serdica! Surprises kept coming, though. Research of the site showed that there was a theater 5 meters beneath the amphitheater. It was built in 2nd or 3rd century A.D. i.e. about 100 years before the amphitheater was built in 3rd or 4th century A. D. These are the largest buildings from the age of ancient Serdica, evidencing its prosperity throughout the centuries. The find was declared unique and the discovery – unmatched in the world!
