Rome Trip (2): The Colosseum

The first site that we visited was the colosseum. This gigantic structure is said to be the largest of all amphitehaters in the roman empire.

The queue was pretty long with all the tourists around since morning. I was a little disappointed when we managed to get in because it has become more of a ruins now. I actually prefer the Arena in Verona, because it is more of a complete structure than this.

It took us 11 euros per head to get in or 6 for european union people, lucky them. Inside, people just walk around the structure. When we came, there were some exhibition going on about this epic of Iliad. Not much of a tourist attraction.

Another one, just beside the colosseum, was the Roman Forum, this site is just like colosseum, has become not more of an archeological sites of ruins from the roman empire.
