Fortunately, the Colosseum was never destroyed. It's a little the worse for wear, but it still stands in Rome as a monument to the glory of a bygone empire. After the fall of the Roman Empire, it was used as a fortress. Today it survives as a tourist attraction.

∙ 15y agoThe Collosseum in Rome looks like it was damaged in past wars, but the truth is that no bombs ever hit it. The destruction began with the Romans when they used it as a stone quarry.
