Since Emperor Vespasian erected it, the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Theatre, has hosted numerous gladiator fights, mock sea battles, animal hunting games, and executions. Only a portion of the original structure remains today, but once held over 50,000 people.
Christ the Redeemer Statue
The most famous Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Brazil’s independence. It is one of the seven wonders of the world because it is a sacred symbol that stands 38 metres tall as a gigantic protector of the people and has a comprehensive soapstone structure.
