Hard to rate these historical, one of a kind and beautiful locations. They seem above such a process. Obviously, it goes without saying that when in Rome you must visit Ludus Magnus!. FOLLOW ME for more thoughtful recommendations as I travel the world ?

The Ludus Magnus (also known as the Great Gladiatorial Training School) was the largest of the gladiatorial schools in Rome. It was built by the emperor Domitian (r. 81–96 C.E.) in the late first century C.E., alongside other building projects undertaken by him such as three other gladiatorial schools across the Roman Empire. The training school is situated directly east of the Colosseum in the valley between the Esquiline and the Caelian hills, an area already occupied by Republican and Augustan structures. While there are remains that are visible today, they belong to a reconstruction that took place under the emperor Trajan (r. 98–117) where the Ludus plane was raised by about 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in). The Ludus Magnus was essentially a gladiatorial arena where gladiators from across the Roman Empire would live, eat, and practice while undergoing gladiatorial training in preparation for fighting at the gladiatorial games held at the Colosseum.

This place is amazing ! If you like ruins and history this place is definitely where you have to go. Pros: everything ! Cons: can sometimes be crowded, go early.

Not to be missed while visiting the Roman Colosseum. It is directly across the street and is the Ancient Gladiator Arena and home of the gladiators. Known for their strength and daring to sacrifice their life, they were a different and legend has many of the wealthy and higher echelon married Roman women would slip away in the evening and visit these worshiped men.
