Baylor Melchiori – Blog 3 – Roman Colosseum

This post is over the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. This was built to be a stadium for fights and other forms of entertainment and has been a architectural monument for several years. The romans built this masterpiece in 80 A.D. and started using it shortly afterwards. This monument has been toured and visited by people from all over the world because of its historical significance. This stadium is built with a central elliptical seating chart and seats up to 50,000 people which is amazing considering how long ago it was built. The construction of this monument is made up of concrete, travertine, and brick faced concrete. I chose this stadium because of the amazing architectural features that it portrays. I actually got the chance to see this Colosseum in person and I was blown away by the magnitude of this historical monument.
