The Colosseum that Stands Strong

When you think of Rome, there are a lot of things that would come in your mind. If you'll ask me personally, I think of the Pope and St. Peter's Square. Or probably some men cladding in old Roman's clothes (the one that looks like a tapestry plus gladiator sandals). But there's more to Rome than just my imagination or the first things that came in my mind. Nor should it be limited to your thinking and imagination. Rome is a many splendor thing. There's more than just Rome, it's name, and the city being in the famous Italy.

One of the most famous landmarks in Rome is the Colosseum. It stands at the heart of Rome and is one of most famous and most beautiful amphitheaters in the world. Built about 1920 years ago, the building stands tall staying true to the words of what grandeur the city has.

When you take a look at it, it might look like a building which some parts has been chewed upon - like a cake that somebody had stepped on. But this amazing architecture and design is what makes the Colosseum a one-of-a-kind, must-see tourist spot.

The history behind the Colosseum is very rich. In fact, it dated back AD 72 when the construction started during the Flavian Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Vespasian. The building was finished in AD 80 just right after Emperor Vespasian's death. The building measures 188 by 156 meters with the height of almost 48 meters. This huge amphitheater can accommodate 55,000 people.

Today, the Colosseum still stands there where history lies and history crosses the present. This spectacle has been visited by most people and are often open within a span of hours in a day... just like how a museum operates. This beautiful piece of (a combination of) history and art still stands still and strong in the middle of a crowd-attracting city.
