Colosseum

The Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre ever constructed, is located in the centre of Rome, an Italian city. This majestic structure, which has a 2000-year history, was designated as one of the seven modern world marvels on July 7, 2007.
Every year, 6 million people visit the location. When visiting this amazing location, visitors are transported from one century to the next as they listen in awe to the tales of this ostensibly timeless monument. This landmark, which still stands in all its splendour, has experienced numerous disasters throughout the years due to fire, earthquakes, and vandalism.
Emperor Titus officially opened the Flavian Amphitheatre in 80 A.D.; the name "Flavian" comes from the Flavian dynasty, who erected it as a gift to the Roman populace. Later, the enormous Colossus of Nero that stood next to the Colosseum inspired the name.
This monument is a tourist draw, but it also has a connection to the Roman Catholic Church. Every year on the day of Good Friday, thousands of people participate in the "Way of Cross" procession, which begins near the Colosseum and is led by the Pope holding a lit torch.
The location also serves as a metaphor for the global movement against the death penalty. Every time a person who was sentenced to death is released or has their death sentence vacated, the local authorities changes the colour of the Colosseum's night illumination from white to golden as a protest against death sentences.

Arc of Constantine - The largest Arch of Constantine is situated between the Colosseum and Palantine Hill. The Roman Senate erected this arch in 315 AD to commemorate Emperor Constantine's victory. The beauty of this location is frequently enjoyed at night by tourists.

Ludus Magnus - The Ludus Magnus, the remains of an old Roman gladiator school, lies just across from the Colosseum. The majority of the location is still beneath, with only a small portion being visible.

Palantine Hill – It has been occupied and recognised as the cradle of the Italian capital since 1000 BC. Being the most central of Rome's seven hills, Domus Flavia, House of Livia, House of Augustus, Farnese Gardens, Hippodrome of Domitian, and Palatine Museum are just a few of the area's attractions.

Roman Forum - The political and social life of the Romans was centred here. A tour of the Forum is a must-do while there. The area is today worth visiting because there are so many interesting locations to view, including the Via Sacra, the Titus and Septimius Severus Arches, the Antoninus and Faustina Temple, the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine, and more.

Basilica Di San Pietro in Vincoli - To store the artefacts of Saint Peter's chains during his captivity in Jerusalem, this location was constructed in the 15th century. The Moses statue by Michelangelo is the house's claim to fame.

Basilica Di San Clement - Pope Clement I was honoured with the dedication of this small basilica. This stunning structure is composed of three levels. This temple has documents that cover Rome's history from the start of Christianity until the Middle Ages.

Although the Colosseum is accessible to the public throughout the entire year, winter is a lovely time to visit. It is simpler to explore the area during the somewhat cold months of November through March. Keep in mind that the facility is closed on January 1 and December 25. You should be mindful of the surge in visits over the Christmas and Easter vacations, though. Additionally, the notoriously humid peak summer season should be avoided. As it takes roughly 3 hours to tour the entire facility with a guide, the best time of day is right at opening at 8:30 am. Spend 3.5 hours if you want to see the undergrounds as well.
