The Colosseum

The Colosseum, an iconic symbol of Rome, is at the heart of this virtual reality experience. Located in the heart of the Eternal City, this majestic monument is one of the grandest of the entire Roman Empire.

The history of the Colosseum

Built in 80 AD during the reign of Titus, the Colosseum is one of the largest and best preserved examples of Roman architecture. It was where the citizens of Rome gathered to watch gladiatorial games, naval battles, animal hunts and enactments of famous myths and legends. This virtual reality experience offers a unique insight into these historic scenes, allowing visitors to virtually explore the plaza and arena interior, where spectacular shows once took place.

The underground corridors

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Colosseum is its complex system of underground corridors. These narrow passageways, known as the “hypogeum,” were once where slaves worked tirelessly to prepare for the shows that would take place in the arena. Virtual reality delivers

One of the most fascinating aspects of the Colosseum is its complex system of underground corridors. These narrow passageways, known as the “hypogeum,” were once where slaves worked tirelessly to prepare for the shows that would take place in the arena. Virtual reality offers the opportunity to discover these hidden parts of the amphitheater, offering a unique picture of the hard work that went into the shows that entertained the Roman crowds.

The square and the arena

The square of the Colosseum was the beating heart of the amphitheater, the place where games and battles took place. Through virtual reality, visitors can virtually walk around this historic square, imagining the crowds of spectators waiting for the show. The arena, on the other hand, was the stage where gladiators and wild animals faced each other in fights to the death. Thanks to the virtual reality experience, visitors can slip into the role of a gladiator and feel the adrenaline of a duel in the arena.

The 3D reconstruction

The virtual tour of the Colosseum uses 3D reconstruction technology to offer an accurate and detailed representation of the monument. This reconstruction, based on historical and archaeological research, allows visitors to see the Colosseum as it looked in its heyday. The multilingual audio guide further enriches the experience, providing detailed and contextual explanations of each part of the monument explored.
