The Colesseum was built in the year 70-82 AD. It was originally built as an amphitheater to hold spectacles. I would imagine gladiator match ups and other forms of entertainment during the Roman empire. The Colesseum is made of cut stone and bearing masonry. The elliptical structure can accommodate 50,000 spectators. There are 80 entry points so that the crowd can easily get in and out of the amphitheater.

The structure is so huge. Actually, it has 3 layers of arcades. Maybe to hold different events all at the same time. 

A definite must-see in Rome.

After watching the movie "Jumper", I told myself that I'm not going to miss the Coliseum once I'm on a holiday in Rome. Last month, I had the opportunity to spend summer in this wonderful place. Our guide took us to the Coliseum on our second day. And my, it was vast! I imagined the early days of the Roman empire where gladiators fought in the arena for entertainment of the kings, queens and their retinue.

Though centuries old, what remains was preserved for posterity. I find the whole place enchanting. It was a unique experience.

We did lots of walking and cruised the perimeter of the Coliseum from all angles. Our tour guide was very helpful in taking us down to memory lane.

Who can visit Rome without going to the Coliseum?  The lines are long but if you opt for a tour guide you can save some time.

Plus having a tour guide helps you learn about the history.  Definitely tour guides are a good way to go.
