Overview
-
The Colosseum is the biggest amphitheater in the world. In 1980, UNESCO has added it in the “World Heritage” list.Its construction started in 72 a.C. and ended 8 years later. Your tour guide will tell you about the different techniques used to build it and he will introduce you to the Gladiators' world, the famous fighters who used to duel in the arena: it appears that this type of fighting started in ancient Greece in order to celebrate private memorial services and the Romans transformed them in acclaimed public shows.
Next stop is Palazzo dei Cesari, on the Palatine Hill. This is where the word “Palatium” (building) comes from.Our tour ends with a visit to the Roman Forum: in archaic times it used to be a necropolis and has been transformed in the heart of Rome with its temples, its cathedrals, the Popes' Curia and Domus.
