Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, this impressive amphitheatre has a fascinating history and timeless beauty that attracts visitors from all over the world. In this article, we will explore the history, architecture and cultural significance of the Colosseum. The Colosseum was built during the time of the Roman Empire and is one of the largest amphitheatres ever built. Its construction began in 70-72 AD under Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty and was completed in 80 AD under his son, Emperor Titus. This grand amphitheater could seat up to 80,000 spectators and was used for a variety of public events, including gladiatorial games, theatrical performances, mock naval battles and other spectacles. Its troubled history includes fires, earthquakes and looting, but the Colosseum has withstood the passage of centuries and has remained standing, a witness to the ages and transformations of the city of Rome. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a stone quarry for the construction of other buildings, but today it is a symbol of great historical and cultural importance. The architecture of the Colosseum is an extraordinary example of Roman ingenuity. The amphitheater is mainly built of travertine stone, with an elliptical structure that measures approximately 189 meters in length, 156 meters in width and reaches a height of over 48 meters. The exterior façade was adorned with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns, which helped give the Colosseum a majestic elegance. Inside, the stands were divided into different sections reserved for different social classes. The central section was reserved for the Roman elite, while the lower classes occupied the higher sections. The central part of the arena hosted the spectacular gladiatorial performances, battles between wild beasts and other shows. The arena was actually a wooden platform covered with sand, which could be raised to reveal the underground cells where gladiators and animals were prepared for performances. The Colosseum is a symbol of Roman architectural ingenuity and the importance of games and entertainment in Roman society. It is also an important historical and tourist site, attracting millions of visitors from around the world each year. In 1980, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and was included among the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. In addition to its historical importance, the Colosseum is a place of profound cultural and emotional significance for the Italian people. It is a symbol of national pride and the ancient grandeur of Rome.
In conclusion, the Colosseum remains an icon of ancient Rome, an extraordinary monument that tells the story of the Roman Empire and its cultural legacy.

The Arch of Constantine: one of the most famous monuments in Rome. The Arch of Constantine, located near the Colosseum, is one of the most famous and best preserved monuments of ancient Rome. Built in 315 AD, the arch was erected to celebrate the victory of Emperor Constantine I in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312 AD), which marked his triumph over Maxentius and the consolidation of his power. The arch is approximately 21 meters high and has three arches (fornices): a larger central one and two smaller lateral ones. Its decoration is an example of artistic syncretism, as it incorporates reliefs from monuments of previous eras, probably to underline the continuity of imperial authority. Some of the reliefs were taken from monuments of Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, adapted and inserted into the context of Constantine's triumph. The importance of the arch lies not only in its artistic value, but also in its historical significance. Constantine's victory was decisive for the spread of Christianity, since, according to tradition, the emperor attributed his success to divine intervention. A few years later, with the Edict of Milan (313 AD), Constantine guaranteed freedom of worship to Christians, marking a fundamental turning point in the history of the empire and of Christianity itself. Today, the Arch of Constantine is one of the most visited monuments in Rome, a silent witness to the greatness and change of the Roman Empire.
