A nice UNESCO cover from Spain with a single stamp issued in 2021 celebrating the Colosseum of Rome (Italy). Rome, center of the Roman Empire and later, from the 4th century, of the Christian world is home to a large number of major monuments of antiquity, including of course the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, just east of the Roman Forum and is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheater in the world today, despite its age. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian (r. 69–79 AD) in 72 and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir, Titus (r. 79–81).
