Unique Architecture

The Colosseum

The Colosseum is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built and is considered one of the greatest works of architecture ever. Amphitheatre is an open air venue used for entertainment, performances, and sports. It was built in 2000 years ago. The Colosseum can hold 50,000 - 80,000 spectators. It was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battlesanimal hunts, executions, and dramas based on Classical mythology


The Colosseum today is now a major tourist attraction in Rome with thousands of tourists each year paying to view the inner of the Colosseum. There are some parts of the buildings are already crumbling. It happened because the building is old and feeling the effects of earthquakes. Although it is not perfect again but the remaining part of the building which I think looks beautiful even in the presence of such damages.Shows that are popular that day was Gladiator. Gladiator is a show that featured a strong man. He could have fought with others in the Colosseum, or the conquest of the animals are like lions. People really enjoy the show at the time. Now, the Colosseum is not used anymore for actionable fight, but became one of the main tourist destination in Italy besides of visiting Pisa Tower. 




I really like the structure of the building. Maybe it gives the example to all the stadium in the world today. It has oval shape and seats for spectator around the center of the building. It looks like the football stadium but the classic one. I really want to visit this amazing architecture. It looks amazing with the view. The interesting things that now, the Colosseum looks like the old man watching Italy evolving in this modern time. Colosseum as a witness Italy development over time. The modern busy Italy with the Old Colosseum as the background. Cute
