The Colosseum Roma is the eternal
symbol of Rome having been constructed more than 2000 years
ago - still standing the Colosseum is known the world over
although the myth that you can see this from space is completely
untrue. This particular virtual image or 360 degree photo
of the Colosseum Roma was taken very early in the morning
so the lighting is quite poor. We are hoping to do another
one but the spoilsports at the Ministry for Arts and Culture
refuse to let use inside to take a picture... but it is ok
if you want to go in and make a home movie....
To get to the Colosseum from the Hotel Anglo Americano in
Rome you can get a taxi or bus as far as Piazza Venezia and
then walk down the Fori Imperiali or Imperial Roman Forum
which is closed to traffic on a Sunday. The Colosseum Rome
is the most visited attraction in Italy and at least a couple
of hours should be spent touring all the nooks and crannies
of its' interior - we at the Hotel Anglo Americano in Rome recommend that
you pay for a guide who are available for hire outside as
they really know their stuff and will wow you with some grizzly
tales of the Colosseum's shady past.
The Colosseum Rome has recently been controversally
adorned with flurooscent lights which make it just as spectacular
in the evenings....
Did You Know?
The Colosseum could seat in excess of 60 thousand spectators...
also the Gladiator Residence Ludus Magnus which is located
on Via Labicana was connected to the Colosseum by means of
an underground tunnel stretching 200 metres...
