DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The massive Colosseum is considered one of Ancient Rome’s greatest architectural works and feats of engineering. Built in the 1st Century A.D. by the Emperor Vespasian and completed by his son Titus, it was meant as a gift to the people of Rome. Here, emperors held spectacles for the entertainment of the citizenry with the aim of helping to keep them happy in an effort to avoid uprisings.

The amphitheater, model for many modern stadiums, could seat 50,000 spectators. Here were held events such as gladiatorial combat, mock naval battles and hunts of exotic animals brought from the empire’s farthest reaches.

You’ll have the opportunity to discover the mysteries, history and wonders of this unique and magnificent edifice.
