The Colosseum, by a very long way.
Construction on the Colosseum started in 70-72 A.D. The London Bridge opened in 1973 You may be thinking, "what?", if this date is not even close. I might know why: Either you have your times way mixed up and you are thinking of the Tower Bridge which opened in 1894, which is often mixed up with the London Bridge, or the London Bridge might be older BECAUSE the original bridge on the spot of the current London Bridge was built on the year 50 A.D.
