The Colosseum of Rome

The Colosseum is originally named Flavian Amphitheatre (Colosseo or Anfiteatro Flavio in Italian). This historical building is regarded as the most famous tourism site in Rome and has been the icon of Rome beside the Vatican City. Apart from its popularity, the Colosseum is also considered as the greatest work of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Although some of its parts have fallen into ruins, we can still see how it was when it still stood together as a whole. Moreover, the ruins of Colosseum still presents us a beautiful sight to see and brings back the ancient Roman atmosphere to the modern Rome.
