Top Sights and Destinations – October 2014
One of the 7 wonders of the medieval world, the Colosseum is perhaps the most famous landmark in Rome. The Amphitheatrum Flavium, as it is called in Latin, was once the place in ancient Rome where gladiators fought for their lives, entertaining the emperor and crowds in the process who apparently weren’t grossed out by the violence. Explore the Colosseum to find out about the brave gladiators and hungry beasts who fought for fame and glory in the arena till blood sports were outlawed in 523 AD.
Take a Sightseeing Tour of Rome, see the ruins of the Forum, the gorgeous Baroque fountains and wide piazzas, the Pantheon and the breathtaking art at the Vatican. Throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain, and you’ll find yourself back in this city soon.
