The Colosseum, Roma. By Noha Shariff




One of my favorite types of architectural buildings are the genuine historical wonders. For me, I believe the Colosseum in Rome may be the most spectacular structures I was lucky to visit. The building made a huge impact on my perspective of civilizations and their continuous change. The Colosseum is an infamous architectural challenge to the modern world, how long it stood and the changes it went through with the years makes it a more remarkable structure. I was able to take several pictures, here you'll see both the interior and exterior of the building. What I really find intriguing about the Colosseum is the strong smell of history, I know it might not have been the nicest smell, but the realization of the countless duels and killing that happened right between these walls is incredible. Many rulers were seized this building for their own, and each one of them put their own way of maintaining it.
