The Roman Colosseum is located in Rome, Italy and is the most visited monument in the country. It was built in the first century AD and could hold up to 50,000 spectators to watch gladiator fights and battles with wild animals. Over the centuries it has been reconstructed and is now a major tourist attraction, but was originally built as a demonstration of Roman power and had strong religious significance during fights.

power. It has been
reconstructed many times
through out history.

mainly used to host
events such as the

the audience. Today it's
just a touristic center.

The floor was made of
wood and the roof was made
of wool. It had the capacity of
holding about 50 000
spectators. Under the
battlefield there were tunnels
leading to the surface from
which the gladiators and wild
animals came from during
the fights.
