    Colosseum

    Enjoy the most exclusive areas of the Colosseum, where most visitors cannot access: the COLOSSEUM ARENA FLOOR. It was the central sand-covered wooden platform where the fights took place (‘arena’ was the Latin word for ‘sand’). You will access through the special Gladiator's Gate of Death, where dead gladiators and animals were once carried away. Have your camera ready to take amazing pictures on the Colosseum: from the Arena floor you will have a 360-degree views of the Colosseum. After visiting the Arena floor, the tour will continue on the first and second tiers of the Colosseum. Here, the panoramic terraces will give you an excellent opportunity to take more stunning photos and admire the monument from a privileged position. Learn more about its history, the bloody games it hosted, and loads of anecdotes and curiosities. For example, why is the Colosseum called Colosseum?
