How many colosseums are in rome

Have you ever heard that there are more than one Colosseum in Rome?

  1. Actually, there is also a square Colosseum located in the EUR district of the Eternal City. It is about a 20-minute ride away from the central part of Rome. The district was built by dictator Benito Mussolini as a site for the 1942 world fair to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Fascism movement. However, the fair never happened because of WWII, while the regime of Mussolini stopped in 1943. Today, the monuments still exist and attract many visitors to the city. The most famous among them is the square Colosseum (Colosseo Quadrato) which houses the Fendi fashion brand. You can recognize more about the EUR zone during our individual tour of this special district.
  2. Another famous monument that looks like a smaller version of the Colosseum is the Marcellus’ Theater, located in the historic center of Rome.

Don’t miss an opportunity to see the ancient amphitheater, whose construction was commissioned by Julius Caesar and could fit 15-20.000 spectators.

For the last 10 years, I live in the Eternal City. Traveling, exploring new things, writing blogs, and shooting vlogs are my main hobbies, but the thing that I like even more is sharing my experience and thoughts with you! Explore Rome with Us :)
