The Colosseum is located at the lower end of the Roman Forum and is a landmark building in Rome. It was a place where gladiators fought for their lives, prisoners fought with hungry lions, and a great symbol of eternal Rome. Colosseum History The Colosseum was built on the original site of the splendid DumusAurea and was completed in AD 80. But with the decline of the Roman Empire in the 6th century AD, the Colosseum was gradually abandoned and overgrown. In the following years, the Colosseum was damaged by earthquakes many times, and it even became a source of stone and marble for builders. The Colosseum that is now presented to people has only the incomplete skeleton, but it can still glimpse the style of the day. From the outside, the Colosseum has four floors (including the underground), and only part of the ground floor and the second floor are currently open. On the first floor, you can clearly see the labyrinth-like buildings in the center of the Colosseum. The basements that used to be the Colosseum housed the beasts and gladiators who were going to duel. If you want to see the underground part up close, you need to be led by a guide. visit. The entire outer wall of the Colosseum is made of limestone, and each floor has 80 arches (vormitori), which can allow spectators to enter and take their seats quickly. The depressions on the second and third floors were once filled with marble statues. The top of the wall is dotted with windows and slender Corinthian pilasters, and there are 240 pilasters to support the canvas canopy that covers the Colosseum. These canvas canopies, which shield the audience from the scorching sun and sun, are now invisible. On the second floor, you can clearly see the internal structure of the entire Colosseum. You can clearly see that the entire interior of the Colosseum is divided into three parts: the arena, the auditorium and the podium. The arena had a sand-covered wooden floor to prevent the gladiators from falling and to absorb the blood that shed. The arena can also be flooded with water for simulated naval battles. The traps on the field lead to the basement and the tunnel below the arena. Animals in cages awaiting combat are lifted by a pulley mechanism and transported into the arena. The audience seats (cavea) are divided into three levels: the knights sit on the lower level, the wealthy citizens sit in the middle, and the commoners sit on the upper level. The slope in the stands is very large, so that the audience in each stand can clearly see the performance. The steps are relatively steep, so pay attention to safety when visiting. The passageway inside the stands is wide enough for two cars to be driven side by side. The podium is a wide terrace between the auditorium and the arena, reserved for monarchs, parliamentarians and important personalities. Most of the third and fourth floors of the Colosseum have collapsed, and the upper walls are decorated with small windows. Don't rush out at the end of the visit. There is a museum on the second floor of the Colosseum, which displays some of the statues and replicas preserved in the Colosseum. In addition, you can also see the restored model of the Colosseum, and you want to know more about it. Don't miss out on the history of the Colosseum. Viewing at night, the Colosseum under different lights of the day shows different tones, which is very beautiful. At present, night lights are installed in the Colosseum, which makes the Colosseum at night extraordinarily beautiful. Friends who like photography should not Forget about shooting at night. You can also choose to visit the Colosseum at night with a guided tour. Opposite the Colosseum is Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. You can also visit if you are interested.

Trip.com User: Rome Our first stop, the plane will take ten hours to get off, as soon as you put your luggage and go straight to the Colosseum, the bus and subway can be directly reached. It is very convenient to get down to the entrance of the Colosseum. There are also many restaurants nearby, you can wait for the time to sit down. The Colosseum is to make an appointment, you can get a fast ticket, and the Roman pass can be made free. Personally still feel that it is very good to shoot outside the Colosseum. If you are inside, you can basically not take all of its face.

Plum9195: One of my favorite places to visit in Rome is the Colosseum. Book tickets in advance so your wait time is not as long, because it is always crowded. The tour of the underground areas is limited in numbers, but is worth the extra expense. A good tour guide really explains the meaning of what you are seeing and adds to the experience. My children enjoyed this attraction as much as the adults. Sometimes there are discounts for students if you have a student ID.

The Conservative Palace is located in the Capitoline Square in Rome, on the right side of the Palazzo Vecchio, opposite the Palazzo Nuovo. The Palazzo Conservatoire and Palazzo Nuovo, together with the Tabularium, are the exhibition halls of the Musei Capitolini. The Palazzo Conservatory takes its name from the fact that it was the seat of the city officials (Conservatori) in the Middle Ages, who, together with the Senate (senato), ran the Eternal City. Rubins' "The She-Wolf of Capitolino" is a work that he began to draw with his memories of Rome, and he did not leave his hands until his death. The canvas is full of bright tones, full of the painter's love for Rome. The Conservative Palace mainly exhibits ancient sculpture art. There are sarcophagi on the first floor, and famous works on the second floor, such as "Venus of Capitolino", "The Dying Gauls", "Eros and the Soul" and so on.

Cupola di San Pietro

Opening Hours: Open from 7:30am-5:00pm

Ticket Price: 8 EUR

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-1 Hours

Location: Via Nicolò Piccolomini, 00165 Rome

The inner diameter of the dome is about 42 meters, covering the entire cathedral. For this big dome, there have been twists and turns for a hundred years, first Bramante designed it in 1506, and Raphael succeeded him after his death in 1514. Six years later, Raphael also passed away. The church borrowed the Gothic design for the top of the church, emphasizing the contrast between darkness and light, and used rose windows. Therefore, out of consideration for the contrast effect of light at the entrance of the church, the round Top was canceled. Michelangelo later took over the job at the age of 71, restoring the dome in the name of "love for God, for the Virgin, and for St. Peter." There are eleven statues on the eaves of the dome. The statue of Jesus Christ is in the middle. There is a clock on each side of the eaves. The right is Greenwich time, the left is Roman time. The big dome is one of the symbols of Rome.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Blessed by God: It's not so easy to enter inside the Saint Peter Cathedral since you need to wait for your turn, always a long line. You are also required to wear appropriate clothes, not sleeveless, not a short pants and a slippers too.
