Yan Tan #7



The Colosseum is probably one of the most visited attractions in the entire world. Its architecture is profound because this stadium housed thousands of people in ancient Rome for gladiator games and other events. The Colosseum was built with aqueducts so that they could fill the bottom with water, in order for certain events to happen, like battles abroad ships for entertainment. Architects and engineers haven't quite yet figured out how exactly the Romans had flooded the Colosseum, but they presume that gates had been used to regulate the water flow. The engineering and architecture of this building is quite genius and nothing from present day has beat its uniqueness yet.
