Continue the journey through time in this second episode of Build Confidence, as we explore the dramatic transformation of the Colosseum during the Middle Ages.
Once the pride of Roman engineering, the Colosseum gradually fell into neglect—stripped of its materials, damaged by earthquakes, and repurposed in ways no one could have imagined. Discover how this iconic structure became a fortress, a quarry for churches and palaces, and even a place surrounded by myths, legends, and fear.
From invasions and population decline to its unexpected role in medieval society, this episode uncovers a lesser-known chapter of the Colosseum’s history—one marked by survival, adaptation, and reinvention.
Dive into the centuries of decay and rebirth that shaped the monument we admire today, and see how history leaves its mark not only through glory, but also through transformation.
Don’t miss Part Two of this fascinating deep dive into one of the world’s most enduring symbols.
