The Colosseo Roma is the eternal symbol
of Rome having been constructed more than 2000 years
ago - still standing the Colosseo is known the world
over although the myth that you can see this from space
is completely untrue. This particular virtual image
or 360 degree photo of the Colosseo Roma was taken very
early in the morning so the lighting is quite poor.
We are hoping to do another one but the spoilsports
at the Ministry for Arts and Culture refuse to let use
inside to take a picture... but it is ok if you want
to go in and make a home movie....
To get to the Colosseo from the Michelangelo
Palace in Rome you can get a taxi or bus as far as Piazza
Venezia and then walk down the Fori Imperiali or Imperial
Roman Forum which is closed to traffic on a Sunday.
The Colosseo Rome is the most visited attraction in
Italy and at least a couple of hours should be spent
touring all the nooks and crannies of its' interior
- we at the Michelangelo Palace Rome recommend that
you pay for a guide who are available for hire outside
as they really know their stuff and will wow you with
some grizzly tales of the Colosseum's shady past.
The Colosseum Rome has recently been
controversally adorned with flurooscent lights which
make it just as spectacular in the evenings....
Did you Know? The
Colosseo could seat in excess of 60 thousand spectators...
also the Gladiator Residence Ludus Magnus which is located
on Via Labicana was connected to the Colosseo by means
of an underground tunnel stretching 200 metres...
