| Colosseum |
| World's greatest amphitheatre, once home to deadly gladiatorial combats was built by Emperor Vespasian on the site of Nero's palace. The tragedy of this monument was a boon to the Renaissance. The travertine marble from this amphitheatre was plundered by Renaissance architects to build palaces and portions of St.Peter's cathedral |
