One of the main attractions in Italy is the RomanColliseum. The Roman Colliseum had been builtthousands of years ago. It acted like anamphitheater that can seat up to 5,000 spectators.The rich, wealthy citizens were up in front, theordinary citizens were in the middle and the slaveswere all the way at the top (very UNFAIR!!!).
Another one is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Thetower was built in the 12th century and started tolean as soon as it was built; maybe because of thesandy foundations.
