The
Hotel Forum Rome - Luxury Quality Accomodation
Rome Italy
The
Colosseum Roma is the eternal symbol of Rome
having been constructed more than 2000 years
ago. Still standing the Colosseum is known the
world over although the myth that you can see
this from space is completely untrue. This particular
virtual image or 360 degree photo of the Colosseum
Roma was taken very early in the morning so
the lighting is quite poor. We are hoping to
do another one but the spoilsports at the Ministry
for Arts and Culture refuse to let use inside
to take a picture... The Colosseum is the most
visited attraction in Italy and at least a couple
of hours should be spent touring all the nooks
and crannies of its' interior. We at the Hotel
Mascagni recommend that you pay for a guide
who are available for hire outside as they really
know their stuff and will wow you with some
grizzly tales of the Colosseum's shady past.
The Colosseum has recently been controversally
adorned with flurooscent lights which make it
just as spectacular in the evenings..
Did
You Know? The Colosseum could seat
in excess of 60 thousand spectators... also
the Gladiator Residence Ludus Magnus which is
located on Via Labicana was connected to the
Colosseum by means of an underground tunnel
stretching 200 metres.
