The ancient Roman Colosseum is once again going to have a floor thanks to a new, hi-tech project announced by Italy's culture ministry.

The last floor was removed by archaeologists to get a better glimpse of what lay below the arena

"You will be able to walk on it and go to the centre of the Colosseum, seeing it in the same way as visitors used to up to the end of the 19th century," Mr Franceschini said.

Back in 82 you could actually walk anywhere you wanted

Disneyland Rome.

Hopefully, Italy will be in normalcy by then so we can visit it.

Haven’t been there but went to big Roman one in Saintes France. It was so spooky and unsettling & weird, I could sense the death & cruelty that had taken place. The underground caves/prisons were horrible. I had to leave.

How convenient.
