Colosseum

Enjoy the most exclusive areas of the Colosseum, where most visitors cannot access: the “Hypogeum” (or Underground level) and the Arena floor.The Hypogeum is a suggestive place, with narrow corridors and large blocks of travertine, where gladiators waited for the moment of glory. As you wander deep into its tunnels, you will almost hear the air resonate with their fierce battle cries, and the growls of the hungry animals ready to feast on their prey.The underground Colosseum was the behind-the-scenes of the deadly spectacles of the Flavian Amphitheatre. You will admire fragments of the original floor, the ancient drainage system, the rooms where gladiators waited to fight, the animals cages. You will see the reconstruction of an ancient lift which, anchored to a system of trapdoors above, connected the underground with the Arena floor, the central sand-covered wooden platform where the fights took place (‘arena’ was the Latin word for ‘sand’).
