The Colosseum

The Colosseum or Coliseum, is a curved amphitheater in the focal point of the city of Rome, Italy. Constructed of concrete and stone, it is the biggest amphitheater ever manufactured and is viewed as one of the best works of structural engineering and designing. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD,and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus.Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). 

Despite the fact that in the 21st century it stays in part demolished due to harm brought about by crushing tremors and stone-thieves, the Colosseum is a notable image of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most prominent vacation destinations and has close associations with the Roman Catholic Church, as every Good Friday the Pope drives a torchlit "Method for the Cross" parade that begins in the territory around the Colosseum.

In the eighth century, a popular witticism credited to the Venerable Bede praised the typical noteworthiness of the statue in a prediction that is differently cited. This is frequently mistranslated to allude to the Colosseum as opposed to the Colossus (as in, for occasion, Byron's ballad Childe Harold's Pilgrimage). Then again, at the time that the Pseudo-Bede composed, the manly thing coliseus was connected to the statue as opposed to what was still known as the Flavian amphitheatre.
