Did I over do this one? :p
The Colosseum, or the 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 considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81ā96). The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).
Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. 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 in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It still has close connections with 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.[
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it was the largest amphitheatre ever built at the time and held 50,000 spectators.

Up close of the Colosseum in Rome. I wanted to do a night shot for this subject but things didn't go as planned.

From Wikipedia
The Roman Colosseum is an impressive site but all the more so light up during the blue hour. The early hour and a light rain kept visitors away and I had plenty of time to walk around and photograph the magnificent structure. I was hoping for a dramatic sunrise but the clouds conspired to end any possibility of a glorious sunrise.
... a wide view inside the ancient arena.
The Colosseo was built in the 1st Century AD and was likely the largest arena of the ancient world; it could hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators. It was used to stage public spectacles including gladiator fights.
The Flavian Amphitheatre was built as a freestanding structure; prior Roman amphitheatres involved digging into hillsides which provided support.
The floor of the arena, sand over a wooden floor, has long since collapsed. What is visible today are the walls dividing the underground (hypogeum). Part of the flooring at the east end has been reconstructed. You can also see a small section of restored seating here.

During this particular night in Rome it started raining. I braved the drizzle like the hero that I am. I also figured that it would reduce the amount of people Iād eventually have to Potatoshop out of the final image. As I was nearing the end of my shooting session, the clouds briefly parted and this (near) full moon appeared as if out of nowhere, right above the Colosseum. Perfect timing, perfect location.
