This week we went to the Colosseum. Did you know that the Colosseum was buried for many years? It was only excavated in the 19th century. It is amazing that something so large could be buried! The Colosseum was used as a fighting arena for the Romans' entertainment. Under the Colosseum's wooden floor, there was a series of tunnels. In the tunnels, there were over 20 elevators operated by enslaved people to bring animals and people to the arena floor, as if by magic. I would say the Colosseum in Rome is a very grand and majestic building.
