Overlooking the Roman Forum is a very imposing domed building. This is Santi Luca e Martina Church.

A mere eight-minute walk from the forum brings you to another very impressive ancient structure. This is the Colosseum. Construction began in 70 AD, and the Colosseum was completed in 80 AD, during the reigns of Vespasian and, later, his son Titus.
