Secondly, you will admire the fountain of the gladiators; the Arch of Constantine; the Colossus of Nero; inside of the Arena floor Colosseum with the Velarium, which closes to start the show; you will take on the role of the emperor to decide the fate of the wounded gladiator. “Death” or “Grace? Finally, you will virtually walk through the corridors of the underground.

After the experience in Virtual Reality, our staff will accompany you to the entrance of the monument. After the security checks, wait for your guide to arrange a meeting point and a set time with you and the group. You will have about an hour to visit the Colosseum and to meet the staff again and head together, if you are not tired enough, to the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum.
