TOUR DESCRIPTION

Gladiator School and Colosseum - on request

Make your trip to Italy a favorite memory for your family. For a Colosseum experience that the kids will never forget, follow your professional guide into the world’s largest amphitheater for a tour of the ground and first floors of the arena.

The Colosseum is a breathtaking monument to the heart of ancient Roman culture. Construction was originally begun in 72 CE by the emperor Vespasian, who chose to build the public stadium upon a drained lake that was once private property—taken from the Roman people—by the tyrant Nero. The arena’s construction was completed in 80 CE by the emperor Titus. It was used for hundreds of years for the height of entertainment for Roman civilians, hosting shows and events such as gladiatorial fights, combat between men and animals, reenactments of famous battles, and public executions, and it was even filled with water for mock naval battles. Over millennia, the great structure has sustained heavy damage due to natural disasters, vandalism, and neglect. For a time, it was even used as a quarry for building materials. The Colosseum has since been restored to the best of modern ability, and it is once again a beloved attraction for all who come to Rome. The exploration of the stadium is engaging for the whole family, and the professional tour guide will focus on giving the kids a fun and educational experience.

After that, it will be time for the children to start their gladiator training. In Rome’s Gladiator School close to the Colosseum, your kids will participate in a once-in-a-lifetime class on the study of gladiatorial fighting! The site of the lessons may vary according to availability.
