Tours and Activities in Colosseum

The most famous and largest amphitheater on the planet invites you to relive those blood and gore battles of a bygone era. This oval stadium is one of the most visited attractions of Rome and is considered to be one of the best accomplishments of the Great Roman Empire. 

Built in the year AD 80, this 50000 seater amphitheater was inaugurated with 100 days of games, which alone saw the slaughter of 5000 animals. This was later topped by a 117-day killing spree which witnessed the death of 10000 animals and 9000 gladiators.!. 

Despite its initial glory, the Colosseum was abandoned after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century. It became a fortress during the Middle Ages and was occupied by the two warrior families of the city, Frangipani and Annibaldi. It was also used as a stone quarry for the construction of palaces such as Palazzo Venezia, Palazzo Cancelleria and Palazzo Barberini. Despite all this, the Colosseum still remains to be one of the most magnificent sights that the city of Rome has on offer. 

With all that architectural beauty around you, it is easy to keep stalling your trip to the Colosseum. However, the moment when this iconic landmark first comes into view is one you will never ever forget.
