One of the must visit places in Rome is Colosseum. Beautiful and just spectacular! We bought the ticket for 12 Euro/pax, it includes Monsta + Palatino + Roman Forum and it is valid for 2 days(it's enough. It's quite easy to get there using metro, only 2 station away from Termini station and the Colosseum is just opposite the metro station.
at the entrance. It always good to be there early to buy the tickets
(i think online booking is not necessary), and it starts at 8:30am

It is an elliptical amphitheater, the largest ever built by the Roman Empire.
It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.

The Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles.

The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
the exterior, It stays partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes
and also from stone-robbers(so sad)
