Colosseum

The large and very fascinating Amphitheatre is located right in the centre of Rome and is one of the greatest architectural masterpieces left to us by the Romans. Construction began around 71 AD under Emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD during the reign of Emperor Titus. In fact, the amphitheatre was named after Flavio, Anfiteatro Flavio, which was the family name of both Titus and Vespasian. It was not until the Middle Ages that the amphitheatre was renamed the Colosseum, mostly because of the large bronze statue of Emperor Nero that stood in the square in front of the amphitheatre.

It was here that Christians were sacrificed to lions and gladiators won fame and fortune if they stayed alive long enough.
