The Colosseum

 The Colosseum, or if you prefer, the Coliseum. Located in Rome, Italy. This large amphitheater could hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators and was used for Gladiatorial contests and many other public spectacles in the ancient Roman Empire. Nobody is sitting in the third window up, to the right.
