After its use as an entertainment venue, the Colosseum served various purposes over the centuries, including housing, workshops, and a fortress. Though damaged by earthquakes and looting, it remains an iconic symbol of Rome and the Roman Empire.

In 1980, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 2007 it was named one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. After extensive renovations, the hypogeum (underground passages) opened to visitors in 2021, revealing the space where gladiators and animals were kept before battles.
