The 6.5 magnitude earthquake that shook central Italy at 7.40 a.m. on
Sunday rendered more than 25,000 people homeless and caused widespread
destruction in around 100 towns in Central Italy.
The worst earthquake to hit Italy in three decades has added worrisome
cracks to the Colosseum, threatening the country’s most popular historic
landmark.
In Italy the stones, the buildings, the churches and the artworks are the
backbone of the country.
Experts are still estimating the damage to around 5,000 churches, bell
towers, historic buildings and ancient walls brought down by the recent
tremors.
Ancient Romans were very well aware of the aftermath of the earthquake and
therefore included that in their construction.
A thorough inspection has led at the Colosseum instantly after Sunday’s
quake. Historic sites including the Roman Forum, the Baths of Caracalla and the
Pantheon as well as the Colosseum which was declared safe and opened to
tourists on Sunday was battered.
