Quote: The Colosseum is a remarkable sight. This trip marked my second visit to this beautiful structure. As I stood in the Colosseum, it amazed me to think about the fact that this same structure existed in ancient times and was filled with Roman... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Quote: Describing it as absolutely incredible pretty much sums up this experience. It's amazing to see this huge landmark/building/structure still standing considering it is an architectural and engineering wonder, built almost 2000 years ago. You walk... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

The Colosseum
Quote: The Collosseum was everything we hoped for and more! This gigantic construction sits in the midst of the busy roads of Rome, dwarfing the traffic as it snakes its way past. This is a building that saw more mindless violence than any of us can... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Quote: Yes, it's a colosseum. Excuse my irreverence, but instead of seeing a bunch of empty ruins, I'd rather see people interacting and life as opposed to death and decay. You can go anywhere and stare at buildings and time will pass by, but what... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Quote: Funny, one feature of the Roman Colosseum that is lauded is the ability to get people in very quickly. With 80 entrances they could get 55,000 spectators in very quickly. Of course, with modern progress and technology the time to get in has...... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

The Colosseum
Quote: Built in 80 AD, when the Roman Empire was at its peak, the Coliseum is the World’s first and one of the largest stadiums ever built.
