An elevator was installed in the Roman Colosseum

An elevator with a glass cabin was installed in the Colosseum in Rome (Italy).

The opening ceremony of the elevator was attended by Italian Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano and Director of the archaeological park of the Colosseum Alfonsina Russo, as well as film actor Russell Crowe, known for the film "Gladiator".

The glass elevator cabin will allow tourists not only to enjoy the panorama of the Flavian Amphitheater and the surrounding area, but also save them from having to climb 100 steep steps.

The elevator will take visitors to the gallery between the second and third floors, where a new space has been arranged, which became available after the restoration.
