Construction for this ancient architectural wonder began in 70 A.D., and took a mere 10 year to complete. The massive structure is believed to have seated between 50,000 and 80,000 people, all of whom congregated enthusiastically to witness the countless savage and bloody spectacles on offer. Architecturally ahead of its time, the Colosseum also boasted a retractable roof, a labyrinthine underground staging area, marble seating, trap door, and internal elevators. In this exiting program, explore the Colosseum’s divisive and controversial past, and discover the need of modern-day Romans and tourists to reconcile the lavish brutality that went on within the stadium’s walls with its awe-inspiring beauty and majesty.
