What is happening to the Colosseum today?

Answer 1

funnily enough, the

Colosseum

was a very sturdy building and it was surviving fine even decades after it had been abandoned. Then, in the early Middle Ages, people started to steal blocks from it and over the years it assumed the form we know today.

It is a pity, but you could see their reasoning: cutting stone was a heavy and expensive job, so stealing it was better. That stone was mainly used for houses, but actually, in most

southern European churches

you can find stones with Latin writing on them - another example of the 'recycling' going on in the Middle Ages.

Answer 2

Nothing happened to the basic structure of the Colosseum in Rome. Its still there as huge as ever. The outer facade, however has been vandalized as people in the middle ages stripped the Colosseum of its marbles to use in other buildings. All the statues that adorned the arches have been stolen and forces of nature have taken their toll on the unprotected inner shell.

Answer 3

it dont got a doric, ionic, or corthianian column (i think) :)

Answer 4

It is currently one of the world's heritage place assumed by UNESCO. If you see it from above or from below, you can see that over 1/3 of it have fallen into ruins over time.
