Angelina Harrison #7

This is the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. This was used as an amphitheater and is consider one of the worlds greatest engineering projects. The Colosseum originally seated between 50,000 to 80,000 people and was used as a center of entertainment for gladiator fights and plays. The structure is made of limestone, marble, cement, and iron. The building of the Colosseum began in 73-75 A.D. and was completed in 79 A.D. I loved visiting this historic structure, but you must be aware of your surrounding because many gypsies and thieves hang around to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists.
