Quiz.HaitiLibre offers a twice-weekly general knowledge segment called “Did You Know ?”. Today, we ask you: what is the only monument located in Europe to be listed among the 7 Wonders of the World ?

Did you know that during the 2007 global vote to choose the new seven wonders of the modern world, millions of people voted. Among the selected monuments, the Colosseum of Rome is the one and only representative located on the European continent.

This choice rewards the immense cultural impact of the Roman Empire on our world today.

The historical drama of the Colosseum after the fall of Rome was its use as a simple stone quarry. For centuries, locals and popes ripped marble and travertine blocks from the monument to build the Vatican and private palaces.

The holes visible today in the structure bear witness to another looting : the men extracted the iron and bronze fixings which held the stones together, weakening the building.
