COLOSSEUM, ROME, ITALY
(One of Four Wonders I've Seen.)
Seeing the Colosseum for the first time in 1972 was a revelation. It's huge and imposing.
Constructed 72-80AD, it's an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
It's right in city center with raging traffic.
I saw it again in 1984, when I was studying in Italy.
WHAT A SIGHT!
Everyone should experience it.
