The gladiatorial combats were held in the Colosseum once it was opened. Before that they could be held in any amphitheater and before that, the original small combats were held in the Forum Borarium, or the cattle market. There is evidence of arenas being built outside of military forts and also in many Roman towns.

Gladiatorial combats took place in an amphitheater, an oval, open aired structure. The Colosseum is the largest of these "arenas". There were many others throughout the empire.
