Yes, the Romans built many amphitheatres (arenas). At least 230 of them have been found in the areas which were covered by the Roman Empire. Not all of them are still standing, for many there are just ruins left. 94 of them are in Italy, 35 in France, 34 in Tunisia, 15 in England, 10 in Spain, 5 in Algeria, Bulgaria and Switzerland, ,4 in Libya and in Wales 3 in Austria, Croatia Germany,Israel, Portugal, Romania, and Turkey, 2 in Cyprus, Hungary, Scotland and Syria, and 1 in Albania, Greece , Holland, Lebanon, Morocco and Serbia.

The city of Rome had two amphitheatres. Besides the Colosseum there was the Amphitheatrum Castrense. The second most famous standing Roman amphitheatre is the Arena of Verona, where they hold concerts and opera performances. Other amphitheatres which are still quite intact are in Pula (Croatia), Arles, Frejus, and Nimes (France), Capua (Italy), Tarragona (Spain), El Djem and Oudna (Tunisia).
