THE ROMAN COLOSSEUM,ITALY
Colosseum is a historical relic in the form of a large performance hall located in the State Capital of Italy, Rome, called the original “Flavian Amphitheatre”, founded by King Vespasian and completed by his son Titus. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome.
It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.
