COLOSSEUM UNDERGROUND

Colosseum Underground Open to Tourists
Visitors to the Colosseum in Rome who join a guided tour can now visit the newly opened underground level, where gladiators prepared themselves for battle and where prisoners and animals were held. A recently completed €1 million restoration has opened the Colosseum’s subterranean levels to the public along with the floor of the arena where the battles and spectacles were held. The renovation has also opened the third floor of the Colosseum, where the middle-classes were seated. Guided tours are €8, plus the regular €12 entry fee, and can be booked by calling 39-06-3996-7700.
