Giant is a Roman amphitheater in the center of the city of Rome originally sought about 45,000 to 50,000 spectators. The arena is used in fighting gladiators (Aljladlator) mass and competitions. Been initiated to build between 70 and 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed 80 years Biskl essential in the era of Titus, but has some additional changes in the reign of Domitian.
History of the building
Since the start of construction date and until the present time over Alpmny a lot of developments in terms of use and also the form of the building architecturally so it is believed that the scene was covered with a large celestial dome (1). Months and the building is an example of the Romanian theaters this way, which is characterized by a complete rotation or being completely oval.

Leaning Tower of Pisa
Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) is the cathedral city of Pisa Italian bell tower, was supposed to be perpendicular to the tower, but it began to tilt rod after Alibd building in August 1173 m shortly. Located next to the Cathedral of Pisa "miracles field" Campo dei Miracoli.
Tower of Pisa is located in Italy in Pisa in the state of Tuscany, built in 1175 AD, it seemed, and as long as its construction 174 years, known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the presence of Milan by the deviation from the vertical plane, consists of eight floors built of white marble Roman-style, up 54.5 meters and has built inside the walls drawer consists of 300 degrees, (currently equipped electric) lift, the Tower of Pisa and is considered one of the wonders of the world.
Tendency is clearly visible where is about 18 feet (tilt more than five degrees), and it is said that the reason for this inclination is looseness in the building and landing on the soil of the tower. This inclination emerged since the early stages of building this tower, but the architects have continued to build on the basis of the same inclination, and in 1275 AD, when they were building the fourth and fifth periodic reports of the tower tried Architects move the weight of the tower center to avoid Milan, but it seems they did not succeed, so, and yet underway attempts to halt Milan by establishing a dolly trusses.
Since 1990, in the last century and closed the tower to prevent tourists from climbing because of the collapse of the gallery at every moment.
Tower of Pisa has been associated with the famous Italian Galileo Galilei Galilei world and his experience on the ground to accelerate.
Height of the tower is 55 meters above the ground. Its mass is estimated at 14,500 tons. The current tendency is estimated at 5.5 degrees, and the tower 294 degrees.
History
The establishment of the tower began in August 9, 1173 AD. After the construction of the third floor in 1178, the tower and the money stopped construction work of a century. In 1272 AD, were an additional four-storey building with a view to modifying the angle of inclination. Realization and stopped again in 1301. In 1372 another built decks and put the bell in the tower.
There is disagreement about the identity of the architect who built the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For years it was considered the architect Bonanno Pisano, which was built, a well-known artist of the second century of Pisa, famous bronze his works, especially in the Cathedral of Pisa. Construction of the tower, which start in 1174 by Bonanno Pisano, and was completed after a long pause at the hands of Giovanni Pisano was in the second half of the fourteenth century by Tommaso di Andrea Pisano.
The story goes that Galileo Galilei dropped two balls (cannon shells) women with different blocks of the tower to demonstrate that their fall speed does not depend on Ktlhma. This story, although it is on the lips of a pupil of Galileo, is considered wrong broadly.
Benito Mussolini ordered that the tower be returned to the horizontal position, and was pouring cement foundations. The result was unexpected and made the tower dive more into the soil.
During World War II, the US Army destroyed all the towers in Pisa almost, for fear of the possibility of the presence of snipers in the towers. The bombing of the Tower of Pisa is also planned; but a decision came at the last minute withdrawal saved the tower from destruction.
On February 27, 1964, the Italian government asked for assistance to prevent the tower from falling. Was appointed a multilateral group of engineers, mathematicians and historians gathered in the Azores islands to discuss how to install it. After several decades of research and work on the subject, has been closed the tower to visitors in January 1990. After a decade of debugging and installation efforts were re-opening the doors to visitors on December 15, 2001 have been proposed many methods to install the tower, including the addition of 800 metric tons of lead counterbalance versus the high side or the base of the tower. The ultimate solution to correct the inclination was removed 38 cubic meters of soil from under the high end of the Hadhalberg. The tower was declared "stable" for the next three hundred years at least.
At least two people jumped from the tower using umbrellas (parachute) are Mike McCarthy in the August 5, 1988 and (in the Boston Globe, August 6, 1988), Arne Arthus in the February 1, 2000.
