The Colosseum in Rome was a magnificent sight .. and a very interesting landmark for me. Even though it is in ruins because of earthquakes, you can see that tourist flocks here just to see it. It is said that the Colosseum still has a very close connection with the church for during Good Friday .. the pope never failed to lead a torchlit procession to the amphitheater. Very interesting eh.
Of course, we all know that the Colosseum was originally the Flavian Amphitheater build in the center of the city of Rome and is the largest to be built in the Roman Empire. Touted as one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering.
Just to show you the outside of the Colosseum as we were entering it.
The inside of the Colosseum, said to be able to seat 50,000 spectators, this place had been used for gladiatorial contest. And it had been used for 500 years.
