In 80 A.D., Vespasian son Titus opened the Colosseum for 100 days of games including gladiatorial combats, and wild animal fights.

After four centuries of active use, the wonderful arena fell into neglect, and up until the 18th century it was used as a source of building materials.

Even though most of the original Colosseum has been destroyed over time, the amphitheater remains a popular tourist site, as well as an iconic symbol of Rome and its long,tumultuous history.
