The first place I was going to was the Colosseum. I had prebooked my tickets with an entry time so I could miss the huge queues, so thankfully the plane arrived on time
Construction began in 72AD under Emperor Vespasian and was the largest amphitheater built at the time, and could hold 50000 people. It was completed in 80AD under Titus. It is in the centre of Rome and close to the Roman Forum, where I went after here.
Modifications were made in 81-96AD under Domitian. Over the years and with various renovations, the Colosseum could hold upto 80000.
It was mainly used for gladiatorial contests, animal hunts and executions. By the early medieval age it was rarely used for entertainment purposes.
Nowadays, due to its condition, it can only hold around 3000 visitors at a time.
We will be coming back here Monday night for an evening tour, and will be going to the underground areas.
Given its gory past, its said 1million people died here and 4 million animals died it’s not surprising it’s supposed to be haunted.
Visitors have reported seeing figures on the stairs and seats, only for them to disappear. A figure of a Roman Soldier has been seen by both visitors and staff. Screaming has been heard. Underground, animal roars are heard on occasion. The cheers of a crowd has also been heard.
