Italy Part 11: Rome - Colosseum

Our second day in Rome, we visited the Colosseum!

A view of the outside






The underground, with the partially-rebuilt floor at the far end


Same thing, but from higher up!


A closer look at the underground




It was a very large structure - it could hold 50,000+ people


The Emperor's box can be seen on the opposite side, ground level


The outside has been partially cleaned.


Colosseum cat!


The view across the street

I had no idea there was that much of the Colosseum remaining. Boy how I would love to see that. Did you get to go down into the underground part?

Love that last photo of Gus! ;-)
