COLOSSEUM

Travel through 2000 years of history inside Rome’s most famous amphitheater.

The Roman Colosseum is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a must-see sight if you’re visiting Italy’s capital, the Eternal City. It is the most famous sports arena in the world, a grand amphitheater, where gladiators fought and thousands of people gathered to see them.

After ceasing to be used as an arena for combat and hunts, at different points in history the Colosseum has been used as a cemetery, a place of worship, for housing, workshops for artisans and merchants, the home of a religious order, a fortified castle, and most recently as a tourist attraction. The Colosseum now receives over 4 million visitors every year. The Colosseum is obviously the most popular attraction in Italy and one of the most popular in the world.
