The Colosseum is the largest Roman amphitheatre in the world. Situated just in the heart of Rome, it was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian in 72 AD and became UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. Deadly gladiatorial combats and wild animal fights were staged there by emperors and wealthy citizens, largely to gain popularity. The Colosseum is one of the most important historic monuments in Rome and attracts millions of tourists every year, who flock here to admire one of the best-preserved evidences dating back to the Roman Age. It is not only the symbol of paganism: the Colosseum has long been regarded as having been the scene of numerous martyrdoms of early Christians and still retains a Christian connection. Crosses stand in several points around the arena and every Good Friday the Pope leads a Via Crucis procession to the amphitheatre. The Colosseum is easily accessible by every means of transport and it is possible to visit it by oneself or taking advantage of a guided tour.
