The ancient Sanctuary of Venus at Hispellum (modern Spello) was a grandiose theatre-temple-amphitheatre complex, today located partially in the grounds of the Villa Fidelia to the northwest of the Italian city. It was located outside the walls of the ancient city on a slope near the bottom of the Spello hill facing west as part of an impressive monumental layout.
