What makes Colosseum and Mamertine Prison Guided Tour a unique experience ?
The Colosseum was built in the 1st Century AD by the Flavian Emperors: Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. It was called the Flavian Amphitheater and acquired its nickname, ‘Colosseo’ because it stood next to a ‘colossal’ gold statue of the sun god Apollo. For centuries the Colosseum came to symbolize the power, wealth and public entertainment of the Ancient Romans.
The ancient Carcer Tullianum, also known as the Mamertine Prison, was a maximum security prison, which for many centuries housed the enemies of Rome, while awaiting their execution. According to tradition, the Apostles Peter and Paul were imprisoned here, shortly before they were to be martyred.
