Colosseum

The first image that pops up in mind when you think of Rome, Italy, is the Colosseum. This iconic landmark should be one of the first places to visit in Rome. Built around 70-80 AD during the Flavian rule, the Colosseum is an enormous amphitheater with a past that is equally glorious and gory. Built to host public activities such as executions, games, gladiator fights, and animal hunts, the Colosseum could accommodate more than 50,000 people at a time.

After having a bloodied yet celebrated run for centuries, years of neglect and natural disasters led the Colosseum to lose its sheen. However, the Colosseum still remains one the most popular architectural wonders the world over and a top favorite among tourists.
