The Colosseum is an iconic building that always comes to mind when we think of must visit places in Rome. After all, how many other monuments can boast of having been constructed in 70 A.D.? The site of several gladiator battles in an era gone past, it stands silent now, facing the ravages of time. It earned the name Colosseum because of a gold-plated colossal statue that stood alongside the building. The statue is, of course, gone now but huge monument remains as a testament to its brutal past. Since the Colosseum can accommodate only 3000 people at the same time, there can be delays in going inside. There are several exhibitions that continue to take place throughout the year, adding to the allure for visitors, making it one of the most visited Rome tourist places.
