Final Answer:
The Colosseum is an ancient stadium in Rome, built starting in the year 70 and taking ten years to complete. It was used for gladiator fights and animal battles, sometimes holding up to 80,000 people. It has been damaged over time — by lightning in 217 (which burned wooden upper levels), and by a major earthquake in 1349 that collapsed part of its south side. People took stones from it to build houses and churches. Later, it was used as a castle and then a graveyard. Today, it’s one of Rome’s most popular attractions, visited by people worldwide. The Pope leads a march around it every Good Friday, and it appears on coins — making it a powerful symbol many admire.
