The Colosseum - Rome - Italy - 70-82 AD 

 This great amphitheater in the centre of Rome was built to give favors to successful legionnaires and to
celebrate the glory of the Roman Empire. Its design concept still stands to this very day, and virtually every
modern sports stadium some 2,000 years later still bears the irresistible imprint of the Colosseum's original
design. Today, through films and history books, we are even more aware of the cruel fights and games that
took place in this arena, all for the joy of the spectators.
