Colosseum Tour: Third tier, Hypogeum, Porta Libitinaria

Colosseum Tour: Third tier, Hypogeum, Porta Libitinaria. The third tier of the stands has been opened, after the first session of restoration, which gives us back almost the full perception of the landmark. From there visitors enjoy an extraordinary view over the inner space of the Coliseum and the whole city of Rome. The ability to access to the upper ring is essential to understand the relationship between the Coliseum and the wide monumental area of the Forum, the other monuments of imperial Rome as well as the whole urban network. The other vast space made available to visitors once again is the underground level, which will be accessed from the section that includes the Porta Libitinaria, that was also restored. The descent into the hypogeum will allow visitors to add a fundamental part of the site to the visit, as it was here where the wild beasts, that were caught from farthest corners of the Empire, were brought and the gladiators stood and prepared for combat in the arena.
Duration: about 1:30h.
Once the tour is over, you can visit on your own the Palatine and the Roman Forum with the same voucher
