Description
An iconic Roman amphitheatre and revolutionary for its time. Capable of housing over 50,000 onlookers at its peak, it was known for bloody gladiatorial contests, spectacles and naval battles. Throughout time, the Colosseum has been affected by earthquakes, overtourism, climate change, looting and vandalism, and has endured the test of time as a symbol of Rome's genius and power. Digital representations will help make progress towards UN SDG goal 11 of Sustainable Cities and Communities in order to ensure responsible and sustainable tourism.
