I'm in Rome!!
The coliseum is the largest amphitheatre in the world and located in the center of Rome, Italy.  Construction was completed in 80 AD.  The coliseum could hold between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators.  It is partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers.  In 2007 it became part of the New7Wonders of the World.
Vatican City is a walled enclave within the city of Rome, with an area of about 110 acres and population of 800.  It is an ecclesiastical state ruled by the Bishop of Rome - the Pope.

The Sistine Chapel is a large and renowned chapel in The Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in The Vatican City.  Construction started in 1473 and it was opened in 1483.  The Sistine Chapel ceiling was painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512.
