That's also an interesting spot to be crucified. Just to entertain the crowd during the intermission, or as an one-time extra during a show (eg a reenactment of Alexander the Great's siege of Tyre?Crucified in an arena in ancient Rome.
The crucified being confronted with that understanding, is a great added value of making crucifixion a public event.My preferred site would be one corner of a largish urban park, laid out so that trees provide shade for the spectators but the subjects are getting plenty of summer sun: ideally, facing southward, both to give them sun exposure all day and so that there's good lighting for the audience and the cameras. The park is large enough that the usual weekend activities can go on; so after the audience for the crucifixion has mostly wandered off, the subject can look out and see people walking dogs and tossing Frisbees, and realize that life goes on, with the great mass of humanity utterly indifferent to his suffering and impending death.
Do you mean to say my crucifixion will be filmed?In Xotho, the capital of my fictional kingdom of Khadenia, crucifixions as well as the execution of debreasting sentences on female offenders are carried out on the central market square. In the centre of the square there is a large brick platform (10 x 10 metres and 1.6 metres high), which is also used as a stage for cultural events of all kinds. The crosses are placed upright here after the condemned have been nailed to their lying cross.
Alternatively, for example in winter or during periods of continuous rain, crucifixions and debreastings are also performed in our State Opera House (962 seats). Not for the benefit of the condemned, of course, but in the interest of the spectators.
As a rule, all these executions, no matter where they take place, are publicly announced ten days in advance. Participation as a spectator is of course free of charge. All executions are also recorded with high-quality television cameras and can be viewed in the state archives in Xotho.

You got to do something for your 15 minutes of fame!I plan to look directly at the camera as they stip me and prepare me for nailing.
