Join us for an intimate tour of the Colosseum, palatine hill and Roman forum, like you never experienced before.
Rome’s Colosseum, originally named the Flavian Amphitheatre because it was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, was completed in 82 A.D. and still stands as a monument to Roman imperial power and cruelty. The Colosseum is second only to Vatican City as the most visited spot in Italy.
Today you may be paying a fee to enter the colosseum, but in the Ancient Rome tickets to most of the events held at the Colosseum were free. For an almost 2000 years old building, the Colosseum is in pretty good shape. Several earthquakes have shaken the famous site, causing damage mainly to the south side, the rubble was quickly used to build churches and palaces found across Rome.Last but not least will be the palatine hill, the supposed spot chosen by Romulus to found his new city. It then became the home of the rich and powerful emperors during the empire.
