The Colosseum

The Colosseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.

Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81-96).The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name.

Originally capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. As well as the gladiatorial games, other public spectacles were held there, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

Although in the 21st century it is in a ruined condition due to damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is now an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church.

The Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and was a gift to the United States from France in 1886 to honor the ideals of freedom and independence and to represent the friendship established between the two countries during the American Revolution. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue which stands 151 feet high, and 305 feet high including the pedestal and foundation. The Statue of Liberty became a symbol of hope and freedom for many millions of people who immigrated to the United States during the 20th century to find a new life of peace and prosperity.

Petronas Towers

The 450m high Petronas Towers, the tallest twin towers on the planet, pushed the outer limits of construction technology and stand as a symbol of Malaysian pride and modernity. Building the towers was a construction challenge like no other, and the six-year endeavour turned into a high-risk project with a hugely ambitious schedule.
