Italy

The Roman Colosseum
The Colosseum is one of the landmarks most people can easily link to Italy. The huge oval amphitheatre stands in the city centre of Rome and construction was started in 70 AD. Built in Roman design borrowed from the Greeks, the amphitheatre was built in the place of a dried out lake. The colosseum was the place in those days where the Romans held their popular fights and games. There were gladiator games, animal hunts and mock sea battles in the colosseum. About 50,000 people could be seated on the steps of this ancient amphitheatre.

Venice

Thousands of tourists come to Venice every year to see the houses built on wooden piles along the many canals and waterways of the city. There are about 500 wooden gondolas and many more water taxis ferrying people across the city. St Mark's Square with the famous St Mark's Cathedral (basilica San Marco) and the campanile (bell tower) are major attractions. The city's palaces and houses can be reached by boat or foot, there are no cars driving in this city! Three bridges cross the over 4km/2.5 miles long Grand Canal. The Rialto Bridge is the most famous and also the oldest. By the way, the Canal Grande is only about 5 meters/17ft deep.
