Completed in 80 AD under Emperor Titus, it had a capacity of up to 80,000 spectators. Its elliptical design is constructed from stone and concrete, and it was mainly used for combat events, animal hunts, and mock naval battles. Despite centuries of damage from earthquakes and looting, it stands as a testament to ancient Roman engineering and culture.

It includes the remains of significant structures like the Senate House, temples, and the Rostra, where speakers addressed the public.

Ancient Rome. I love it! - Our tour of the Colosseum was an incredible experience! The guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer all our questions. She provided fascinating historical insights and made the tour both engaging and informative.
She also share extra tips on what to see in Rome. Her recommendations helped us make the most of our time in the city.
Overall, the tour was well-organized, and the guide’s passion made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome!

Rome acation - It was a rainy day. We went to the Colosseum to meet our guide. We had an excellent tour of the Colosseum with extremely relevant historical periods of interest. We then toured the Palisades and this too was very interesting. And English-speaking guide is a must. My only precaution is do not carry bags because they will be inspected and you may need to remove articles in your bag especially glass bottles
