Description

The Colosseum in Rome had over 80 entrances and could accommodate around 50,000 spectators. Learn the history behind this magnificent monument and all that surrounds it. Rome's most popular structure was built for three reasons... As a gift to the Roman Citizens from the Flavian Dynasty to increase their popularity, to stage various forms of entertainment, and of course to showcase Roman engineering techniques to the world. Festivals as well as games could last up to 100 days in the Colosseum. Your Crown Tour Guide will walk you through the Colosseum explaining the true brilliance behind the engineering of this structure. Listen to our Tour Guides' tales of the gladiators that so gallantly entertained hundreds of people.
