Rome's most iconic monument, the Colosseum is a compelling sight. You'll know
what it looks like but no photograph can prepare you for the thrill of seeing it for the first
time. For 2000 years, this muscular arena has stood as the symbol of Roman power, as the
striking embodiment of the terrible awe that Rome once inspired. As you climb its steeply
stacked stands, try to imagine them full of frenzied spectators screaming for blood - a
chilling thought.
