Colosseum, Rome

The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater ever built, and one of Rome's most popular attractions. Built in the 1st century AD, it was capable of holding between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, nothing less than a modern stadium. It was used, most famously, for gladiator fights, but also for battle re-enactments and classical dramas.
