About

Explore the world’s most visited monument, in the best way! Descend into the Underground section with a professional guide to see the ongoing excavations. Walk in the footsteps of the Gladiators and find yourself backstage at the most famous games in Ancient Rome.

Then go up to the ground level and hear about the innovative building techniques used by the ancient Roman engineers. Travel back in time as you immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Rome and find out about the social and political function of this mighty amphitheater.

Complete your Colosseum experience by going further up to the 1st tier from where you’ll be amazed by the spectacular view over the Arena, the Arch of Constantine, and the Temple of Venus.
