Wonders of the World

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page of it. But I wish to read the whole of it.

One of the glorious chapters in this book is of the Seven Wonders, the amazing creations of humans.

Today I will talk about the Roman Colosseum from the land of great food, arts and culture that is Italy.

This wonder is located in the capital city of Rome and is also called the Flavian amphitheatre.
This is the largest amphitheater in the world holding a Guinness Record. It covers an area of 6 acres.
It was completed in 80 AD under the rule of emperor Titus of Flavian Dynasty.

In Ancient Rome, the Colosseum would come alive with gladiator contests and wild animal displays.
Great dramas based on classical mythology were staged here.
Oh! what a sight it would be to see the Colosseum being filled up with water and the romans do mock sea battles inside this huge building.
The amphitheatre drew an audience of about 65 thousand people at one time.
I can only imagine the uproar it would make when they all cheered together.

Though today a part of the Colosseum is damaged, it still stands as an icon of the great Roman history and is definitely a wonder to watch.
