Home of gladiators, tigers and a big line of tourists
Some landmarks impress not only because of their size, or architecture. They are so well known that you see them all your life through the media, and one day one of them is there, so alive, before your eyes.
The Colosseum is a good example of that. It represents, itself, Italy. You can wander in the some piazza and maybe you think it could fit somewhere else in Europe. However, it’s impossible to have that feel while walking around that ancient stadium.
About the picture
A lot of people like to take pictures from the whole Colosseum. Naturally, I’ve got mine, too. And they seem like a thousand postcards sold on every corner.
Therefore, I preferred to get a snapshot which could show both some detail and give an idea of where it took place. Hopefully, some visitors will agree with me.
