The
Colosseum is the eternal symbol of Rome having been
constructed more than 2000 years ago. Still standing
the Colosseum is known the world over although the myth
that you can see this from space is completely untrue.
This particular virtual image or 360 degree photo of
the Colosseum Roma was taken very early in the morning
so the lighting is quite poor. We are hoping to do another
one but the spoilsports at the Ministry for Arts and
Culture refuse to let use inside to take a picture...
The Colosseum is the most visited attraction in Italy
and at least a couple of hours should be spent touring
all the nooks and crannies of its' interior. We at the
Hotel Pincio recommend that you pay for a guide who
are available for hire outside as they really know their
stuff and will wow you with some grizzly tales of the
Colosseum's shady past. The Colosseum has recently been
controversally adorned with flurooscent lights which
make it just as spectacular in the evenings...
Did You Know?
The Colosseum could seat in excess of 60 thousand spectators...
also the Gladiator Residence Ludus Magnus which is located
on Via Labicana was connected to the Colosseum by means
of an underground tunnel stretching 200 metres.
