The Colosseum or Coliseum also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Italian: Colosseo), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his heir, Titus.
The Colosseum has been substantially ruined because of earthquakes and stone-robbers, so the modern additions are everywhere, or else it will collapse into ruin.
The weather today is excellent, the Colosseum looks more spectacular under the blue sky, a tip from Choumeizai, since the Colosseum is massive, if you want to capture the whole structure, you would better take the photos from afar.
The Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions, so there is a horribly long line in front of the main entrance.
If you haven’t reserved the tickets in advance but still want to ‘skip the line’, you can pay some euros to hire a tour guide.
