History
The square is named after the Colosseum in the center and takes the place of a pond that belonged to the Golden House of Nero. Until the 1930s, fragments of the ancient fountain of Meta Sudans and the foundations of the Colossus of Nero remained on the square, which were finally destroyed during the construction of Via dei Fori Imperiali. Near the square are the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine, the Temple of Venus and Roma in the Roman Forum, and the remains of the Ludus Magnus gladiatorial arena.
