Colosseo

The Colosseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. Other public spectacles were held there as well, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. {Source: Wikipedia}
