People included for scale (and absolutely not just because it is impossible to take such a shot without a ton of tourists).

Coliseo - Roma - Italia
El Coliseo o Anfiteatro Flavio (en latín Colosseum, en italiano Colosseo)1 es un anfiteatro de la época del Imperio romano, construido en el siglo I. Está ubicado en el este del Foro Romano, y fue el más grande de los que se construyeron en el Imperio romano. Conocido originalmente como Anfiteatro Flavio (Amphitheatrum Flavium) pasa a ser llamado Coliseo (Colosseum) porque a su lado había una gran estatua, el Coloso de Nerón, un monumento dedicado al emperador Nerón que posteriormente sufrió transformaciones y llegó a desaparecer.
Los materiales utilizados en la construcción de este son bloques de travertino, hormigón, madera, ladrillo, piedra (toba), mármol y estuco. En la antigüedad poseía un aforo para unos 65.000 espectadores, con ochenta filas de gradas.456 Los que estaban cerca de la arena eran el Emperador y los senadores, y a medida que se ascendía se situaban los estratos inferiores de la sociedad. En el Coliseo tenían lugar luchas de gladiadores y espectáculos públicos. Se construyó justo al este del Foro Romano, y las obras empezaron entre 70 d. C. y 72 d. C., bajo el mandato del emperador Vespasiano. El anfiteatro, que era el más grande jamás construido en el Imperio romano, se completó en 80 d. C. por el emperador Tito, y fue modificado durante el reinado de Domiciano.2 Su inauguración duró 100 días, participando en ella todo el pueblo romano y muriendo en su celebración decenas de gladiadores y fieras que dieron su vida por el placer y el espectáculo del pueblo.
El Coliseo se usó durante casi 500 años, celebrándose en él los últimos juegos de la historia en el siglo VI, bastante más tarde de la tradicional fecha de la caída del Imperio romano de Occidente en 476 d. C. Los bizantinos también lo utilizaron durante el siglo VI. Además de las peleas de gladiadores, muchos otros espectáculos públicos tenían lugar aquí, como naumaquias, caza de animales, ejecuciones, recreaciones de famosas batallas y obras de teatro basadas en la mitología clásica. El edificio dejó de emplearse para estos propósitos en la Alta Edad Media. Más tarde, sirvió como refugio, fábrica, sede de una orden religiosa, fortaleza y cantera. De sus ruinas se extrajo abundante material para la construcción de otros edificios, hasta que fue convertido en santuario cristiano, en honor a los cautivos martirizados durante los primeros años del cristianismo. Esta medida contribuyó a detener su expolio y a que se conservara.
Aunque la estructura está seriamente dañada debido a los terremotos y los picapedreros, el Coliseo siempre ha sido visto como un icono de la Roma Imperial y es uno de los ejemplos mejor conservados de la arquitectura romana. Es una de las atracciones turísticas más populares de la moderna Roma y aún está muy ligado a la Iglesia católica, por lo que el papa encabeza el viacrucis hasta el anfiteatro cada Viernes Santo.78
El Coliseo, junto con todo el centro histórico de Roma, fue admitido en la lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1980. El 7 de julio de 2007 fue reconocido como una de las siete nuevas maravillas del mundo moderno.

Colosseum - Rome - Italy
The Colosseum (/ˌkɒləˈsiːəm/ KOL-ə-SEE-əm; Italian: Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]) is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world today, despite its age. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian (r. 69–79 AD) in 72 and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir, Titus (r. 79–81). Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (r. 81–96). The three emperors that were patrons of the work are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [aɱfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo]) by later classicists and archaeologists for its association with their family name (Flavius).
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 (for spolia), 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.
The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.

Last night I was sitting on the bus nr. 87 and snapped this majestic building. Yes it's not clear blue hour colors and window is dirty but Rome is also that, you can see the excellence as ruins of an ancient society vs nowadays dirty "modern" society. Isn't it cool?
A side note. I will post pictures differently, more what I really like. For years I've been posting photos that follow a subject or by period: serie. I'm tired of that right now.

Exterior shot from the perhaps most iconic building in Rome. This amphitheatre (also known as Flavian Amphitheatre) was built 70-80 A.D. by emperor Vespasian and Titus (with additional work done under the following emperor, Domitian). The Colosseum is still an imposing building, although it has been robbed of quite a lot of its materials and has been damaged by earthquakes. It once could hold more than 50,000 spectators and is the largest amphitheatre in the world.
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, owes its name to the Latin expression Colosseum (or Coliseus, late Latin) due to the colossal statue of Nero, which was near the building.
Located in the center of Rome, it is an exception among the amphitheaters for its volume and architectural relief. Originally capable of housing close to 50,000 people, and at 48 meters high, it was used for varied shows.
It was built east of the Roman Forum and took between 8 and 10 years to be built.
Betanzos dos cabaleiros (Betanzos de los caballeros ) Fue una de las siete capitales de provincia del antiguo Reino de Galicia y su casco antiguo, en el que destacan importantes monumentos góticos, está declarado Conjunto Histórico-Artístico.La leyenda atribuye la fundación al caudillo celta Breogán. Existen indicios de asentamientos primitivos en Betanzos, aunque se tendría que esperar hasta la época del Imperio romano para encontrar documentada la existencia de la ciudad en la Geografía de Ptolomeo, con el nombre de Flavium Brigantium, si bien hoy parte de la historiografía sitúa tal ciudad en La Coruña. Tras un largo período del que prácticamente se carece de información histórica, en 1219 la población se trasladó de su antigua ubicación (San Martiño de Tiobre, conocido como "Betanzos O Vello") a su localización actual, sobre el antiguo castro de Untia.En 1465 Enrique IV le concedió a la población el título de ciudad, y en 1467 le permitió la celebración de una feria franca anual. Años más tarde, en su reorganización territorial de España, los Reyes Católicos designan a Betanzos capital de provincia de una de las siete que formaba el Reino de Galicia, en lo que fue la época de mayor esplendor de la ciudad.

Das Kolosseum (antiker Name: Amphitheatrum Novum oder Amphitheatrum Flavium) ist das größte der im antiken Rom erbauten Amphitheater, der größte geschlossene Bau der römischen Antike und weiterhin das größte je gebaute Amphitheater der Welt. Zwischen 72 und 80 n. Chr. errichtet, diente das Kolosseum als Austragungsort zumeist höchst grausamer und brutaler Veranstaltungen, die von Mitgliedern des Kaiserhauses zur Unterhaltung und Belustigung der freien Bewohner Roms und des römischen Reichs bei kostenlosem Eintritt ausgerichtet wurden. Heute ist die Ruine des Bauwerks eines der Wahrzeichen der Stadt und zugleich ein Zeugnis für die hochstehende Baukunst der Römer in der Antike.

Il est l'une des plus grandes œuvres de l'architecture et de l'ingénierie romaines.
Témoignage monumental de la propagande flavienne, sa construction, juste à l'est du Forum Romain, a commencé entre 70 et 72 apr. J.-C., sous l'empereur Vespasien, et s'est achevée en 80 sous Titus. D'autres modifications ont ensuite été apportées au cours du règne de Domitien (81-96). Le nom d'amphithéâtre Flavien dérive du nom de famille (gens Flavii) de l'empereur Vespasien et ses fils Titus et Domitien.
Pouvant accueillir probablement 50 000 spectateurs (les estimations plus anciennes de 80 000 spectateurs, soit un douzième de la population romaine, étant exagérées), le Colisée, témoin de l'évergétisme impérial, a été utilisé pour les venationes (combats d'animaux sauvages), les munera (combats de gladiateurs) et autres spectacles publics, tels que des exécutions de condamnés à mort, des reconstitutions de batailles célèbres et des drames basés sur la mythologie romaine. Il est resté en service pendant près de 500 ans, les derniers jeux se prolongeant jusqu'au VIe siècle. Pour l'inauguration du Colisée, en 80 apr. J.-C., Titus donne une naumachie dans le Colisée transformé en bassin reconstituant la bataille navale de Corinthe contre Corcyre. Le bâtiment a finalement cessé d'être utilisé au cours du haut Moyen Âge. Il a plus tard été réutilisé pour des usages variés tels que des habitations, des ateliers d'artisans, le siège d'un ordre religieux, une forteresse, une carrière et un sanctuaire catholique chrétien.
