The scale hits you immediately, and the history feels real when you are standing inside. It was busy, but the entry process moved steadily with a timed ticket. The best part was taking a slow loop and stopping to read the signs instead of rushing for photos. Go early if you can, and bring water because there is a lot of standing.
1 of the 7 wonders of the world is an understatement, full of history, architecture and facts this place should be on everyone’s bucket list
An awesome piece of architecture stepped in magisterial history - a must go if in Italy let alone Rome! Found everything about it interesting, especially how it changed through time. The Romans really were fantastic!
