Originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum is found at the center of Rome, Italy. This iconic mass is one of the most famous sights in all of Italy. Constructed nearly 2000 years ago, it was utilized for gladiatorial contests, public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animals hunts, dramas based on classical mythology and executions. During that time it was capable of seating 50,000 spectators! The floor is no longer in existence enables visitors to see down into the maze of rooms and hallways which were underneath the floor. This is where the gladiators, animals, and condemned prisoners were kept until they were raised by ancient Roman elevators.
Visiting this architectural and engineering wonder is a most when journeying through Rome, Italy!
