  The Colosseum (ancient name: Amphitheatrum Novum or Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian: Colosseo, Anfiteatro Flavio) is the largest of the amphitheatres built in ancient Rome, the largest enclosed building of Roman antiquity and still the largest amphitheatre ever built in the world. Built between 72 and 80 AD, the Colosseum served as the venue for mostly extremely cruel and brutal events that were organized by members of the imperial family for the entertainment and amusement of the free residents of Rome and the Roman Empire with free admission. Today, the ruins of the building are one of the city's landmarks and at the same time a testament to the high level of architecture of the Romans in ancient times.

  The square was already an important traffic junction in the time of the Roman Republic, as the Via Flaminia met the Porta Fontinalis in the Servian Wall here.[1] In the 15th century, the Venetian cardinal Pietro Barbo, later Pope Paul II, had his palace, the Palazzo Barbo, built on the west side of the square. The Venetian embassy to the Holy See was based there from 1567 to 1797, hence the palace's current name Palazzo Venezia. In 1660, the Palazzo Misciatelli was built to the north, which is now known as the Palazzo Bonaparte, because Letizia Ramolino, the mother of Napoleon Bonaparte, had her retirement home here.

  Piazza Navona

  In 46 BC, Julius Caesar built a first, rather provisional stadium for Greek-style games, i.e. athletic competitions, here on the Campus Martius. Emperor Domitian expanded this stadium to a monumental size in 85 AD. It measured 275 by 106 meters and had space for over 30,000 spectators. The ground floor of the outside was surrounded by arcades made of travertine pilasters. No archaeological remains of the second floor have been found. The stadium was decorated with a number of works of art, mainly in Greek style.[1] An excavated torso, the so-called Pasquino, is on display nearby.

  The Theatre of Marcellus was a theatre in ancient Rome that still exists today in the form of a residential building. Caesar had already purchased the land to the north of the vegetable market (forum holitorium) in the immediate vicinity of the magnificent Temple of Apollo Sosianus. Augustus had the theatre built there, which was completed in 13 BC and dedicated to his nephew Marcellus, who had died 10 years earlier. For the construction, two smaller temples had to be demolished, which were probably dedicated to Pietas and Diana. Unlike Greek theatres, the Theatre of Marcellus was not built on a mountainside, but stood free as a high-rise structure. The approximately 33-metre-high building made of Roman travertine from the quarries of Tivoli and opus caementicium provided the model for the construction of the later Colosseum. In terms of seats, it was the largest theatre in the city of Rome and offered space for around 10,000 to 15,000 spectators.
