For some reason this building (1776) is called "the devil’s church". Originally it held stores and workshops, but today it serves as a conference room. (Helsinki, Finland). Set: Buildings & spaces - Exteriors + collection: Buildings + Spaces

From Wikipedia: The Colosseum or Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81–96). The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).
Originally capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It remained in use for nearly 500 years with the last recorded games being held there as late as the 6th century. As well as the traditional gladiatorial games, many other public spectacles were held there, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building eventually ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such varied purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a Christian shrine.

I have no idea how the artist has painted the lines of ellipses so perfectly onto the walls of these buildings. It's hard to find failures.
This is art!
Everywhere we went through the rural areas, there were workers out building; roads, houses, you name it. it looked like long, hard work, but worth it -- the farmers are living in conditions that a lot of people elsewhere in the world would love to have even in the cities!
With roads, houses, running water, fields to work in and food to eat your life might not be luxurious but all the basics are covered.
