"Il Coloseo"

It carries its name best among all of the wonders i have seen in this world. it is colossal and simply elegant. it is hard to believe that such a place has witness, such violence and seen so many dead. Its structure is robust and elaborate. seeing it is almost unreal, the walls are almost 2000 years old but still stand tall. The Coloseo a.k.a Flavian Amphitheatre, is like a giant who has suffered many strokes, yet remained mighty. The scars inflicted by the many natural disasters which besieged this place are all but crack in a wall made out of marble. after 2000 years old it stands among my favorite. The Egyptian pyramid, the Mayan, incan, and Aztec's' temples, the grand canyon are by far the top 3 and most phenomenal touristic places in the world, but i must say that the "Flavian Amphitheater" is as equally impressive. To know that at its highest point it use to host up to 5000o people is simply phenomenal. I would recommend anyone to come and visit this great structure as it old so much of the roman history within its walls. The best time is at night, when the lighting on the structure recreates on its ruins the might and glory of yester years
