Colosseum Rome

The Colosseum Roma is the eternal symbol of Rome having been constructed more than 2000 years ago - still standing the Colosseum is known the world over although the myth that you can see this from space is completely untrue. This particular virtual image or 360 degree photo of the Colosseum Roma was taken very early in the morning so the lighting is quite poor. We are hoping to do another one but the spoilsports at the Ministry for Arts and Culture refuse to let use inside to take a picture... but it is ok if you want to go in and make a home movie....

To get to the Colosseum from the Hotel Veneto Rome you can get a taxi or bus as far as Piazza Venezia and then walk down the Fori Imperiali or Imperial Roman Forum which is closed to traffic on a Sunday. The Colosseum Rome is the most visited attraction in Italy and at least a couple of hours should be spent touring all the nooks and crannies of its' interior - we at the Hotel Veneto Rome recommend that you pay for a guide who are available for hire outside as they really know their stuff and will wow you with some grizzly tales of the Colosseum's shady past.

The Colosseum Rome has recently been controversally adorned with flurooscent lights which make it just as spectacular in the evenings....

Did you Know? The Colosseum could seat in excess of 60 thousand spectators... also the Gladiator Residence Ludus Magnus which is located on Via Labicana was connected to the Colosseum by means of an underground tunnel stretching 200 metres...
