The Colosseum or Coliseum (/kɒləˈsiːəm/ kol-ə-see-əm), also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [amfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo] or Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand,[1] it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72,[2] and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus.[3] Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).[4] These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators,[5][6] having an average audience of some 65,000;[7][8] it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.. TO VISIT IT !!!

Logistics Of This Walk And Important Notes
Villa Borghese is the largest public park in Rome and a great safety valve to escape the noise and bustle of the city of Rome. There is much to see and do, but the only real A list attraction for visitors is the Borghese Gallery.
For many, the main aim of coming to Villa Borghese is just to chill out for an hour or two, to ponder and reflect over your sightseeing to date and regroup for what is ahead. For many, a stroll in the park is a great vehicle for this.
Within this context, the route of this walk just covers all the main areas of interest in an efficient manner. There are plenty of maps scattered around the Villa Borghese where you can improvise on this broad template.
The length of this walk if you just walked without stopping would probably be no more than 45 minutes. The terrain is for the most part flat with well made surfaced paths.
However there is so much of interest on the way you will probably take far longer.
Refreshments of all types are scattered all over the Villa Borghese from formal restaurants to ice cream vendors.
Hiring a bike is a popular activity, including bikes accommodating four, with quite a few hire stations scattered around the park. You could do the walk by bike, there is a hire station just inside the start of the walk.
This walk is the most eastern of our series of 8 Rome city walks outlined on the map below.
From the Spanish Steps you can connect with walk 2 of the series that connects the Spanish Steps with the Trevi Fountain.
