Colosseum from the Centrale Roma Termini

Starting at the Station Centrale Roma Termini, turn left on Via Cavour. As you are walking notice the church that is located 4 blocks down on your right. This is the Santa Maria Maggiore. A picture of the interior of the church is shown in the picture to your right. Continue heading down Via Cavour and make a left on Via Eudosiana. Located on your right is the San Pietro in Vincoli. Inside of this church you will find the Chains which shackled St. Peter, and the Moses statue done by Michael Angelo. Continue down Via Eudosiana and notice Traianos Park and the Traianos Bathes. Make a right onto Via Terme Ditillo and the Colosseum will be located right in front of you.

The Roman Colosseum was built 
around 2000 years ago. It was known 
as Rome's ancient theater. There are numerous vendors and tourists that frequent this area daily. You will usually see Italians dressed up as gladiators that will pose with you for a picture. Of course, a small fee is required. The Roman Colosseum is one of most recognized structures in Rome.
