Colosseum , also called  Flavian Amphitheatre , giant  amphitheatre  built in  Rome  under the  Flavian emperors . Construction of the Colosseum was begun sometime between 70 and 72  CE  during the reign of  Vespasian . It is located just east of the  Palatine Hill , on the grounds of what was  Nero ’s  Golden House . The artificial lake that was the centrepiece of that palace complex was drained, and the Colosseum was sited there, a decision that was as much symbolic as it was practical. Vespasian, whose path to the throne had relatively humble beginnings, chose to replace the tyrannical emperor’s private lake with a public amphitheatre that could host tens of thousands of Romans. The Colosseum could hold up to  75.000 spectators . Each sector was reserved to a specific class of citizens, based on their importance. However, the entrance was free for anybody. रोम  का कोलोसियम   आधुनिक विश्व के सात आश्चर्यों  में से एक है। रोम का कोलोसियम का असली लेटिन नाम 'एम्फीथिएट

Chichén Itza , ruined ancient  Maya  city occupying an area of 4 square miles (10 square km) in south-central  Yucatán  state,  Mexico . It is located some 90 miles (150 km) east-northeast of  Uxmal  and 75 miles (120 km) east-southeast of the modern city of  Mérida . The only source of water in the arid region around the site is from wells (cenotes) formed by sinkholes in  limestone  formations. Two big cenotes on the site made it a suitable place for the city and gave it its name, from  chi  (“mouths”),  chen  (“wells”), and Itzá, the name of the Maya tribe that settled there. Chichén Itzá was designated a UNESCO  World Heritage site  in 1988.
