Ownership

The Colosseum has a new, gleaming appearance thanks to restoration work that has used the same material used in ancient Rome—travertine—to restore parts of its 2,000-year-old columns. Thousands of Romans once flocked to this arena to watch gladiators fight each other or wild animals. The structure continues to fascinate the public and is Italy's most popular tourist attraction, with nine million visitors in 2025 alone, the AP reports.
