ITALY - ROME - CAGLIARI | travel vlog | shetroublemaker
Wanted to visit one of the seven wonders colosseum was on my bucket list since forever and I finally got a chance to see it.
So beautiful and calming I can’t even tell you 😍
Founded 1941 years ago ~
The Colosseum is built of travertine limestone, tuff (volcanic rock), and brick-faced concrete. The Colosseum could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points in its history having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles including animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Roman mythology, and briefly mock sea battles. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although substantially ruined because of earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and was listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and also has links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.
And of course went to Cagliari which was the whole point of my visit. Cagliari VS Udinese was a fun match to watch even though we lost 😞
Got to do the stadium tour and saw some legendary trophies they have won over the years.
Simply a wonderful trip.
I hope you enjoy watching it 🥰
