Guided Visit Colosseum and Undergrounds | Weekend in Italy

Experience the “new” Colosseum:
The Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali and the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma invite you to enjoy the results of a recent restoration effort of the Colosseum. This important restoration has made it possible for you to experience this monument almost in its entirety.

With this visit, you'll see extraordinary views of the interior spaces of the Colosseum, including the underground level that tells the hidden stories of the Colosseum. Enter the Colosseum underground through the section that includes the monumental Libtinaria Door, which was also restored during this renovation.

It is here that important activities took place, making the gladiators' games possible. Here, slaves executed their tasks quickly and efficiently, hidden from the eye of the spectator.  Wild animals were captured and brought in from the most remote corners of the Empire and gladiators prepared for fighting.  

Do not miss this opportunity to more completely understand the colorful past of this monument!
