Colosseum, Rome

Favorite thing: You must visit the Colosseum and Forum. Take a tour of the Forum if possible. We stumbled onto a free English tour. This provides a great history lesson and makes what you are seeing come alive!

Fondest memory: The gelato! Stop by a Blue Ice gelato shop and try as many flavors as possible. Some of the shops are located at: Via delle Muratte, 18 (near Trevi Fountain), Via dei Baullari, 141 (Campo de'Fiori), and Via Gaicomo Bove, 28 (Piramide).

Favorite thing: TO VISIT ARCH OF CONSTANTINE.
Another sort of memorial building is arch. The picture I took from Colosseo shows the Arch of Constantine¡ªanother great ruler of Rome Empire.
This Arch is the largest and best preserved in the three remaining in Rome. Several pieces of historical relics of Trajan, Hardrian and Marcus Aurelius were removed to this Arch. So it is a monument of great worth.

Favorite thing: COLOSSEO
If you never been to Rome, absolutely the place you must visit first is COLOSSEO. I think it is one of the most famous heritage of the world. More interesting thing is that a ruin older than Colosseo was found below the site that Spartacus, the leader in a war against Rome, fought at.

Favorite thing: Take a walk from the Colosseum to Roman Forum

Fondest memory: Met Tong Pei Hua (1st one on the right) from China and two of her friends at Vatican, since one of her friend (2nd on the right) is studying in Rome for his Roman history doctorate degree, he took us on a whirlwind walking tour of Rome, we not only need to catch up in speed and also in historical knowledge.

Favorite thing: Who can forget the Colosseum? The Colosseum was built between 72 and 80 A.D. and was the dying place of over 9000 animals and numerous gladiators in the first 100 days alone. Many Christians were also Martyred here.

Fondest memory: Probably a combination of the people I met at the Pensione Allesandro and the area of the Spanish Steps and Fountain de Trevi. I will give each of these memories their own section.

Favorite thing: Walk inside and around the Colosseum, get your picture taken with the Gladiators if thats your thing, but it will set you back about 5-10 dollars.
Walk through the Palazzo Senatorio(Amazing White building as seen in photo). The Vatican is really impressive as well,

Favorite thing: VISIT THE COLISEUM, AN ARENA, WHERE THE ANCIENT ROMANS SAW THE MATCHES OF GLADIATOR AGAIN THE LION, AND AGAIN OTHER GLADIATORS.IN THE COLISEUM IT WAS ORGANIZED NAVAL BATTLE OR RACE OF TWO WHEELED CHARIOT.

Favorite thing: COLOSSEO / COLOSSEUM
The Colosseum is arguably ancient Rome's most famous building. This massive structure, with arch upon arch reaching 48m (157ft) into the air and measuring 190m by 155m (620ft by 513ft), used to hold up to 50,000 boisterous Roman citizens. Opened in AD 80 by Emperor Titus in a ceremony that included 100 days of games, the Colosseum played host to Rome's favourite spectator sports - gladiatorial contests, combats between men and wild animals and even mock naval battles. Such sports were outlawed in the fifth century AD, and only the shell remains, along with a view down to the passages through which slaves and animals were led before entering into battle. Unlike other Roman amphitheatres that are dug into hillsides, the Colosseum is a free-standing structure of stone and concrete and has long served as a model for stadia around the world.
Opening Times: Daily 09:00-19:00
