Cirque de Gavarnie in the Central Pyrenees, France. It was named by Victor Hugo as "the Colosseum of nature" due to its giant size and horseshoe shape resembling an ancient

amphitheatre.

The largest of a number of falls in the cirque is Gavarnie Waterfalls, the second-highest waterfall in Europe.

Цирк Гаварни в центральных Пиренеях, Франция. Виктор Гюго назвал его «Колизей природы» из-за его гигантских размеров и формы подковы, напоминающей древний амфитеатр.

Крупнейшим среди многочисленных водопадов в цирке является Гаварни, второй по величине водопад в Европе.

Colloseum Rome Italy

Italy, Rome, Colloseum

A construção do Coliseu começou sob o domínio do imperador Vespasiano [3] em cerca de 70-72AD.

O local escolhido foi uma área no chão de um vale entre o Célio , Esquilino e Palatino Hills , através do qual uma canalizado córrego corria. Por volta do século 2 aC, a área era densamente habitada.

Ele foi devastada pelo grande incêndio de Roma em 64 dC, após o que Nero aproveitou grande parte da área para adicionar à sua área pessoal. Ele construiu o grandioso Domus Aurea no local, em frente do qual ele criou um lago artificial rodeado por pavilhões, jardins e pórticos.
