Colosseum
The Amphitheatrum Flavium remained the biggest Roman construction until the Empire’s end. The Colosseum was surrounded by gladiator schools and their inauguration games, held over more than a hundred days and featuring hunts, animal and gladiatorial combats.
Citadel of Alamut
Built in the ninth century on a dramatic mountain overhang, the Citadel of Alamut was taken over by Hassan as-Sabbah in 1090. Under his rule, this isolated stronghold became the center of the Nizari Ismaili state and the headquarters of its struggle against the Seljuk state.
Hôtel des Invalides
