Step inside one of the most famous landmarks in the world and uncover its thrilling past! Built nearly 2,000 years ago, the Colosseum was the heart of ancient Roman entertainment, where gladiators clashed, wild animals roared, and emperors watched from their grand seats. But there's more to this legendary arena than just epic battles. Beneath its towering stone walls were hidden tunnels, underground elevators, and secret chambers that made every event a spectacle.
