Description
There is a reason why there are so many pictures taken of the Colosseum: it is spectacularly breathtaking! Round the corner for your first view and you are just awestruck! The Coliseum was originally called the Flavian Amphitheatre. It is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of Rome, and is the largest ever built in the Roman empire. It is constructed of concrete and stone and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering. Its construction was started in 72 AD and completed in 80 AD. Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, it was used for gladiatorial contests and other public spectacles. Much of the Coliseum was ruined by earthquakes and stone-robbers but remains an iconic symbol of the city. It's hard to imagine our present buildings lasting until the year 4012! It was declared UNESCO World Heritage site in 1980.
