The Colosseum, or Coliseum, is one of the most iconic sights in Rome. Built by the Roman Emperor Vespasian in 72AD, the iconic elliptical amphitheater is located in the center of the city. A tourist magnet, the Colosseum stands tall as a reminder of Rome's power and grandeur. At its peak, the Colosseum could hold up to 50,000 spectators. Visitors can look out onto the arena floor, restricted now for preservation purposes, to imagine gladiators fighting wild animals and re-enactments of famous battle scenes from Roman history. From the top tiers, you can take in the breathtaking view of the vast Roman Forum. Grab some tickets and explore the Colosseum and its underground tunnels to learn more about its fascinating history.
