From the fourth century AD it becan fall in decay – echoing the fate of Rome itself.
The Colesseum.(II Colesseo)
This immense amphitheatre, of which is still admired the ancient splendour, was begun by Vespasian in A.D. 72 and finished by his son Titus in AD 80. Jewish prisoner were employed in its construction. Its real name is “ Flavian Amphi-theatre”, and it could contain more than 50,000 spectator.

P.S. This is another landmark of Rome.. This place is surrounded my the Olive tree which was believed a present from the Roman Gods... one for its ability as food, 2. for fuel 3. for phamaceutical, 4. massage oil 5. essential oil and many more. It was also believe that Olive oil cures many disease .. and it turned out to be true kan because it reduces heart problems, betul kan Inday. BTW is the nearby to the colesseum ... maybe lepas kena punish the slaves will be brought to the colesseum to fight kan.

P.s. One good thing about the public transportation in Rome is that the exit is not far away from the nearest Landmark of Monuments. When we reach at the coleseo exit the first thing you notice is this big old building and by the time you step out you can see the beutiful big and magnifico building. Semua ternga nga masa tu. I got chills looking at it as all this while i look at it from pictures and documentaries but now its in front of my eyessssssssssss. ahhhhhhhh breathtaking sangat. I suggest for everybody to visit this.... honest you got the chills..
When we reach there another tourist inform us that the entrance fee is around 11 euros but comes to about RM 55.00 adus mahal tak payahlah, so we oll just took some pictures from the outside.
Trinita dei monti
The first thing that strikes us are the charming monumental steps (1722) at whose top there is the church of SS Trinita Dei Monti with the two beautiful belfries ( 1495). An Obelist, found in the garden of sallust in 1808, rises in front the church. At the foot of the steps, prettily lies the fine fountain of the Barcaccia erected in 1629 by Pietro Bernini , the father of the sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo.
