The Colosseum

One of the most popular attractions to know in Rome is the Colosseum. More than 4 million people visited annually. However, most of these tourists haven’t visited the tunnels under the famous landmark. Although these are visible from the amphitheater, few people have been allowed to walk through them.

This labyrinth is called hypogeum and was used for the organization of every event, especially, to move the wild animals, the criminals that we judged and the gladiators to the arena. The Roman Emperor Vespasian, commissioned the construction of the Colosseum. However, the construction was completed in 80 AD by a son Tito but his younger brother Domitian was the one who governed. In fact, he added the lower chambers in the Colosseum to prepare the most brutal event. Fortunately in 2010, tourists had access to these chambers I could see what it was like to be in the Coliseum.

Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square is a place where protests, rallies, and looting are very common. There, popular riots, the Bloody Sunday, and Black Monday took place. Therefore, it’s normal that the area has a police presence. However, I am sure you’d never imagine that such a small place would hide things from the public.

Believe it or not, Trafalgar Square has the smallest police station in the world, it was built in the 1930’s. In fact, it’s more like the doctor who’s TARDIS than a real police station. It was built with the purpose of giving a place to rest to the officers in charge of putting order and vigilance in the square. Unfortunately at present, it’s a space where the Westminster council cleaners store their implements.

The most curious thing about it is that this form of the lead station is located at the base of a streetlamp and it’s ironic how small it is compared to its civil importance. As you can imagine, there can only be one person in it at a time. I am sure most, English people never imagined what this construction really was?

The Washington Monument

The Washington Monument is closed indefinitely in recent years. This happened to repair the elevator that’s inside. It was an unfortunate event for those who wanted to visit the structure on their next trip. However, there’s a small version of it very close.

This replica is approximately four meters high and is known as benchmark A but the most curious thing about it is that it’s located under a sewer lid. Its main purpose is to serve as a cartographic control point, help facilitate the synchronization of maps and satellites. It also serves to monitor the country’s land mass. At the time it was placed in the 1880’s, it was on the ground. However, over time the surface of the earth has undergone some changes and for this reason was buried. since then, it has been seeking 0.5 millimeters every year. Probably, some tourist who wanted to know the place ran into the news of the elevator repair but I am sure they’re satisfied to be able to see an equally high copy.

The interior of this building can be traveled. However, not entirely, since a room is hidden on the top floor. According to unofficial information, there are all the blueprints that explain in an architectural manner the reason for its inclination. In fact, there’s a detailed report of the procedures and measures that were implemented in the tower so that the structure would tilt without collapsing. Those plans are hidden in the tower because they want to avoid the construction of another monument with those characteristics.

Big Ben

Big Ben is a tower whose construction is more than half a century old. Best of all, it is still open to the public. Astonishing everyone from the first moment it was finished. For this reason, thousands of tourists annually traveled to this place to see the impressive landmark but in spite of its Fame and amazing facade, it’s not an easily accessible tourist place. Apparently inside it, there’s something that not everyone can see.

Until recently, people in Britain could apply for a permit to climb the 34 steps Big Ben has, that request was free. However, access must currently be paid and is limited only to residents. It turns out the building with the grey clock has some secret passages that not everybody can find out about. Perhaps the managers are doing an advertising campaign to increase the cost of the guided tour through the bell tower and other places.

It turns out that during their discovery they didn’t find anything inside, nor do they know what they were built for. However, some believe that by touching some blocks at the walls, stairs or hidden bedrooms can be found.

The Statue of Liberty

Times Square is also capable of housing people, of course, all this was before an act of the First World War in 1916, destroy the would that led there. Everything went down Europe here that was between Jersey City and black Tom Island. The explosion was so great they had to evacuate the entire city of Ellis. In fact, the glass and the windows of all the buildings in Times Square was totally destroyed.

The truth is that the German spies who fired the bomb had damaged the arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, its parts were repaired in full until 1984.
