2. It is an elliptical amphitheatre.
3. Built in 70-80 AD.Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers.
4. It derives its basic exterior and interior architecture from that of two Roman theatres back to back.
5. The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, and was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such 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.
6. It was full of tourists and I had seen it before in pictures so i think was kinda familiar but of course different than in picture.
7. Colosseum is very large and I liked the way it was builded. It is a nice place.
