The symbol of Rome |
Piazza del Colosseo Rome, Rome 00184 +39 6 700 4261 / +39 6 700 5469 http://www.museidiroma.com/colosseo.htm |
No visit to Rome is complete without having seen its magnificent Colosseum, a vast amphitheater with seating for 55,000 that was designed as a horse racing circuit and arena for animal fighting and gladiatorial battles. Upon its completion, spectacular 100-day celebrations were organized as part of the opening ceremony in 72 AD. Its name is believed to come from Nero's enormous statue of Colossus that stood close by. The admission charges are about EUR9 (plus EUR2 for exhibitions, also valid at the Palatine), and audio guides are available for an small additional fee. Guided group tours cost only EUR3.5 more per person, and can be a great deal as the line for this tour tends to be much shorter. Review © 2009, Wcities |
