The Great Wall of China. The Taj Mahal. Petra. Christ the Redeemer. Chichén Itzá. Machu Picchu. And the #Colosseum. These sites and monuments are popularly known as the new 7 Wonders of the World, modern additions to the ancient #7Wonders laid out by Philo of Byzantium in 250 BC. The new wonders, all @Unesco heritage sites, were chosen about 10 years ago. Millions of people voted in an online contest put on by a Swiss company. Built on 4 continents, most by ancient and medieval empires, they’re all architectural marvels of enormous scale. They’re also among the most visited tourist attractions in the world. The Colosseum — an amphitheater with arcades and half columns — is an example of the Roman Empire’s architectural innovation. It was used for gladiator and hunting shows, as well as public executions, for 4 centuries. After the fall of the Roman Empire, it was used temporarily as a housing complex. Earthquake damage and the mining of the Colosseum’s materials have left just one-third of the original structure in place.
