Interesting and Enlightening Tour of the Colosseum


    

The nearly 2,000 year old Roman Colosseum is an iconic symbol of the city. For more than 500 years, 50,000+ spectators filed in for entertainment including gladiator fights, executions and even performances featuring wild animals. Today, the Colosseum is one of the city's top draws for tourists.

Social Media Description

Have you visited Rome?

As we are (or were!) avid cruisers, we've had several chances to spend one day exploring the city. Anyone who has been there knows that one port day is not nearly enough to see all that Rome has to offer. Fortunately, before one of our cruises, we spent some pre-cruise days in a hotel and packed each day as full as possible.

We loved our tour of the Roman Colosseum - complete with the back stage areas as well. With many technological advances, the construction of the Colosseum is amazing. There were many moving walls and platforms. Both people and wild animals could access the stage from below and the arena could be filled with water for aquatic battles. There was even a shade canopy to help take the heat off!

What are your favorite sites in this historic Italian city?
