      Rome in 4 days – Day 1.

      Morning

      Ancient Rome:

      A - Colosseum

      B - Roman Forum,

      C - Piazza del Campidoglio

      D - Pantheon.

      Afternoon

      Walk through the historical centre:

      E - Piazza Navona,

      F - Trevi Fountain,

      G - Piazza di Spagna.

      Suggestion: The late afternoon could be the right time to go on a panoramic drive on the double-decker buses of the Atac 110 line that makes several stops in the center.

      A – Colosseum

      Colosseum in Rome

      The Coliseum owes its name to a colossal bronze statue, representing the Emperor Nero, more than 35 m. tall, that used to stand in this area. A symbol of Rome worldwide, the Coliseum was built by the emperors of the Flavian dynasty between 72-80 A.D., on the site once occupied by an artificial lake belonging to the magnificent Domus Aurea, a compound of buildings and gardens built by Nero now in ruins but with beautiful decorations which inspired Renaissance painters.

      As much as 100,000 cubic meters of travertine from the Tivoli quarries were used to build this amphitheater, the largest ever built during the Roman Empire.

      The Coliseum could hold more than 70,000 spectators who could watch the fights between gladiators, the hunting of animals and, at the very beginning, the naumachias: naval battles that took place in the arena that was flooded.

      The architect who designed the Coliseum is said to have been thrown alive to the wild beasts as a reward for his own work, thus inaugurating the long story of blood and cruelties of the building he himself had conceived.

      In the Middle Ages the Coliseum was transformed into a fortress. Later on, stripped of its structures, it became in turn a quarry for building materials and finally the seat of hospitals, fraternities and craft guilds. It was only towards the middle of the 18th century, that Pope Benedict XIV had it decreed a sacred site, and the plunder and devastation was
