TOP ATTRACTIONS TOUR: AN MP3 AUDIO TOUR IN ROME

The colosseum is first of all the largest amphitheatre ever built in the roman empire and one of the top Italian tourist attraction. Its construction started under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD in the site of the former Nero's golden House, known as the Domus Aurea. Originally, it was called Flavian Amphitheatre, simply because the Vespasian's Family name was Flavius. The colosseum was inaugurated by Vespasian's son Titus, in 80 AD.

The Sistine chapel (Cappella Sistina in Italian) is located at the southern end of the Vatican Museums and at 5 minutes walk from St. Peter's Basilica. If we look it from the outside, the Sistine Chapel is of no great architectural interest. The chapel has a rectangular shape and measures 41 x 13 meters (134 x 43 feet) and was built using ordinary bricks. The chapel is 20.70 meters high (68 feet) and has a barrel-shaped roof. As we said, there is nothing spectacular about the building itself. All its beauty is in fact on the inside amazing frescos.
