Colosseum Private Tour with an Architect
The Colosseum is one of the most visited monuments in the world.
However, very few visitors truly understand how it was designed, engineered, and used.
A Colosseum Private Tour with an Architect transforms your visit from sightseeing into deep understanding.
With Ximena, architect and licensed guide in Rome, the Colosseum becomes a living structure — not just a ruin.
Why Visit the Colosseum with an Architect?
Most tours focus on gladiators and dramatic stories.
An architect explains structure, proportion, circulation systems, and urban context.
During your private tour, you will discover:
-
How the Colosseum was engineered for 50,000 spectators
-
The logic behind Roman arches and load distribution
-
The underground hypogeum system
-
How the Colosseum reshaped the urban plan of Ancient Rome
Instead of memorizing dates, you understand how the building actually works.
If you would like a broader context, you can also explore our
