Q&A
  • What is the Roman Colosseum?

    The Colosseum is an ancient amphitheater located in the city center of Rome, Italy. The largest amphitheater that was ever built and one of the oldest, the Colosseo is where thousands once came together to watch gladiator games, contests, shows, battle re-enactments and executions. Nowadays the Colosseum is one of the most famous and visited monuments as well as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
  • When was the last Gladiator fight in the Roman Colosseum?

    Colosseum was on January 1st 404 AD after Emperor Honorius officially and legally banned the contests in 399 AD.
  • How did the Roman Forum get destroyed?

    Most of the buildings and monuments in the Ancient Roman Forum were destroyed in 410 AD with the Fall of the Roman Empire. Some of the damage was most likely due to several factors including ransacking and fighting after the decline of the Imperial Roman Empire. But most of the destruction could be contributed to the passage of time, natural elements, and overall neglect. During the Middle ages, it is said the site of the Roman Forum was actually used for grazing animals!
  • What happened to the original floor of the Colosseum?

    Much like the Roman Forum, the Colosseum was destroyed over time due to a combination of factors – from natural disasters, the weather, vandalism, and neglect. The original floor of the Colosseum is said to have been removed on purpose after the naval battles that once took place in the arena were discontinued, but there is no solid historical evidence of how exactly (and when) the original Colosseum floor disappeared.

Maravilloso tour con adelaida
El mejor tour que hemos hecho en roma gracias a las explicaciones de adelaida, una guía romana que habla español perfectamente y conoce cada detalle y lo transmite con pasión y un toque de humor. Totalmente recomendable este tour con adelaida que finaliza en el colisseo para que después te puedas quedar dentro el tiempo que tu quieras.

Emozionante
Maria ci ha accompagnati con competenza e simpatia in un viaggio di tre ore, che sembrano essere volate, attraverso le meraviglie archeologiche del foro romano e del Colosseo. Una visita imprescindibile per chi si trova in visita a Roma, altrettanto imprescindibile rivolgersi a una guida per non perdere le nozioni storiche più importanti e osservare attraverso uno sguardo ampio e preparato i siti di interesse.

Beyond all expectations!
Our experience on the Collosseum tour was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Massimo, was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and created a sense of wonder when seeing artifacts/sites that I didn’t know the history of previously. Truly one of the best guided tours in my time traveling! Can not recommend enough!

Adoramos o passeio e o guia
O passeio foi muito bom. Tudo bem organizado, desde ponto de encontro até o tour em si. O nosso guia Maximus foi maravilhoso. Até o nome dele é bom pra uma excursão no coliseu (kkkk). Sempre muito simpático, mostrou muito conhecimento, atencioso e soube levar o grupo em um passeio muito agradável mesmo debaixo de muita chuva e vento. Nem isso estragou. Ficamos satisfeitos! Bjos pro guia!

The best guided tour of our trip. Barbara, our guide, was witty, passionate and well versed in the history of Ancient Rome. She made the entire setting - the old palace ruins, the arena - come to life. The pace was just right - 3 hours flashed by without any feeling of being rushed or too slow. Highly recommend.
