11. Imagine gladiators at the Colosseum
Holding between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators, Rome's first century Colosseum was the largest amphitheatre in the Roman Empire. Today, if you're lucky, you might catch a concert here by a big star like Andrea Bocelli, seen here performing with the Abruzzo Symphony Orchestra in May 2009. Photo: Getty
