Amazing Structure


here some picture of Colosseum

Hello!
Today i want to tell you about this amazing sturcture, Colosseum

Colosseum also known as Flavian Amphitheatre located in the centre of Rome,Italy. It is the largest during the roman empire. Colosseum used for gladiator contestsuch as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.


Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum

Colosseum is stated as the New 7 Wonder in 2007.
