I first saw it in 1950, when I was eight years old. They did not have the platforms like they do now so that you can walk around and see a lot more of the inside of it. This is a particularly beautiful picture of it. It is definitely worth the trip and so are all of the Roman ruins nearby, like the Senate, the Baths of Caracalla, etc. What a beautiful city. By the way, I have been back a few more times since.
I felt the same way Jean. Saw it in 1977 and two years later we went back. We went to this city and some others as well. Loved this country! Someone I went to school with lived there.
I first saw the Colosseum in 1956, when I was 20. Saw it again and walked all around inside about 3 years ago. Still just as exciting. Could almost hear the roar of the lions and the crowd.!
I toured the Colosseum about 50 years ago. Saw it again about 10 years ago but it was under repair then. Amazing place. Puzzle a little hard since lots of the pieces look very much alike.
Truly a work of art!!!! Have a great Friday everyone! We will experience a "heat wave" Here in the mountains of Southwest VA...going to be in the 50's...so looking forward to it!!!
