Rome's Colosseum shines after sunset as tourists dodge daytime blaze

Tourists visiting Rome's Colosseum can now explore the ancient monument after sunset, as a new night-time tour aims to offer a cooler and less crowded experience during the city's peak summer heat.

The initiative, titled "A Night at the Colosseum," features a 60-minute guided tour along the monument's first tier, the arena floor, and underground chambers that once housed gladiators and animals. The tour focuses on the history of the Colosseum as a venue for public spectacles during the Roman Empire, including animal hunts and gladiator combat.

Visitors are guided through dimly lit corridors and viewing areas, with stops to observe displays of replica gladiator armor and multimedia installations showing aspects of restoration and excavation.
