coliseum who destroyed it?

The Colosseum, an iconic symbol of Rome and Roman architecture, was not destroyed by a single event or a single person, but underwent a long process of decay and damage over the centuries. Built between 70 and 80 AD under the emperors Vespasian and Titus, the Colosseum hosted gladiator fights and other public events until the 6th century.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Colosseum began to deteriorate. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a dwelling, a workshop and even as a quarry for building materials. Many of its travertine blocks were removed to build other structures in Rome, including St. Peter's Basilica.

In 1349, a strong earthquake struck Rome, causing the collapse of the southern part of the Colosseum. Further damage was inflicted by looting and abandonment. Only in the 19th century did restoration work begin, but the Colosseum remains a monument that bears the scars of its long history. Today it is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and continues to be an important tourist attraction.
