The Ancient Rome reborn through the complete Colosseum opening!!

Autumn 2010 in the Eternal City confirms that it is indeed a golden season for cultural initiatives. Among these, there is one that stands out for its exceptional value. We are talkin'about what is the symbol of the Capital, or the Colosseum, the gigantic amphitheater that is considered the largest among the archaeological treasures of ancient Rome still present in our era.

From 2010 October 19 to November 30 you will live a unique opportunity to admire the Colosseum for three new perspectives. Yes, because after a long series of careful restoration work, the Ministry of Heritage and Culture together with the Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Rome are proud to show to the public the monument almost "totally", thanks to the open access to the third tier of the stands and underground areas.

From the third ring, which was locked even since the Seventies, you can enjoy the best view of both the immense internal area of the Colosseum (was able to hold up to 50,000 spectators!) and the grandeur of the Imperial Forums and the whole Roman landscape. Instead, through to the monumental "Porta Libitinaria"(great restoration for the "gate of death" too) tourists will finally get off in underground spaces, that is the centerpiece of what would be the of the Colosseum activities.

At the end of the fifth century A. D. the tunnels were buried, and that's why the conservation status has remained virtually unchanged: the meticulous restoration help to breathe the places where it once there were slaves, fighters, wild beasts and all the machinery for arena complex stage sets. In fact, the macabre, violent and dramatic life behind the scenes at the Colosseum was all here.

Therefore, for the first time together here are the two faces of the Colosseum, the higher and solar and the darkest and underground, for a very important result for the history and Capitoline tourism.

It should be noted that the visits are guided and for groups of 25 and by reservation required!

Don't forget that on website RomaViva.com, under "Tour", you can find "Imperial Rome", a fantastic guided tour of Imperial Rome that every afternoon at 03:00p.m. for only € 55 touches with the bus Piazza Venezia, Campidoglio (guided tour), Palatine Hill, Roman Forum (guided tour), Arch of Constantine and Colosseum ( guided tour; if you book with us, you "skip the line").
