Rome Apartments For Rent
The image that adorns nearly every postcard from Rome is that of the
famous Colosseum. Built in the first century AD, this massive amphitheater
is one of the oldest buildings in Rome, as well as one of the most famous.
Antiquity aside, the Colosseum is a marvel of architecture, proving that
the Romans certainly know how to build.
An Amazing Arena
For a structure that was built in the first century, the Colosseum is
remarkably sophisticated. Its elliptical shape actually provides more
seats and better sight lines than a circular arena. On top of that, the
entryways of the Colosseum were so well designed that all 50,000 seats
could be emptied in about five minutes.
What most visitors truly find remarkable about the Colosseum is the sense
of time and history that it exudes. The stone staircases inside the
Colosseum are worn down so much that they are almost smooth--the work of
millions of footsteps over the last two thousand years. Seeing this
reminder of Rome's antiquity makes you see why it is known as the "Eternal
City."
Rome is filled with marvelous monuments to the many empires that have
called the city home. To truly get a sense of its history, you'll probably
spend long days touring the city, after which you'll want a good night's
sleep. Rent an apartment from BestInRome.com, and you'll have every
amenity you need for a good night's sleep--and you'll see that the Romans
haven't forgotten how to build an amazing edifice. We have locations near
the Colosseum (and nearly every other landmark in the city), so give us a
call to arrange your lodging today.
