Walk in the footsteps of gladiators
The sounds were deafening - public taunting, animals growling, opponents pleading. The smells were horrid—blood soaked sand, animal waste, burning iron and sweat. This was the gory and glory of a Gladiator in the times of Ancient Rome. And at the center of it all—one majestic monument in the heart of the Eternal City that still stands today as a symbol of a nation, its rise to power, and fall from grace. Il Colosseo or as we know it, the Colosseum.

Within the iconography of the Colosseum, the Eternal City has an eternal emblem. Now is the time to dive a little deeper into its secrets.
Our guide will walk you through how stolen lands for an Emperor’s vain Domus Aurea (Golden Palace) became the location for the largest building to host free public games in Ancient Rome. Stroll under the arches and into the life of the Colosseum’s fierce occupants - where glory was found within the confines of the arena floor.
