Fantastic trip to Rome, Italy: part 16 (Colosseum)
The Colosseum holds many secrets, and there are many interesting facts associated with it.
The Colosseum's real name is the Flavian Amphitheater.
The construction of the Colosseum began in 72 A.D. on the orders of Emperor Vespasian.
There was a time when near the Colosseum was a giant statue of Colossus of Nero. Some people believe that the Colosseum was renamed after the Colossus of Nero statue was established there.
The Colosseum was built on the site of the former lake.
The Colosseum was built in 8 years.
It is the largest antique amphitheater that was ever built.
There were 5 tiers and separate lodges in the Colosseum.
Colosseum accommodate 50 000 spectators.
The Colosseum has been in desolation for many centuries.
When the fights of gladiators lost their entertainment and in the 5th century the Roman Empire began to collapse, the Colosseum ceased to be a place for large social events. Moreover, earthquakes, lightning strikes and other natural phenomena significantly influenced to the structure.
Only in the 18th century the Catholic Church and many priests decided that the place of construction of the Colosseum should be preserved.

If the Colloseum have been like this since it was made in the Gladiator film there was a terrible mistake with the arena because I see there is a structure built but in the film not
