Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |

Here we seek to reveal the danger of blind faith. This article has yet to be sourced. Please add citations and a list of appearances verifying its relevance to Assassin's Creed. Failure to do so will result in the article being deleted. |
The Colosseum, or Roman Coliseum, (Italian: Colosseo) is one of the most famous landmarks of Rome, and is featured in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The Ezio is able to climb to the top of the Colosseum. It is also the location of a Lair of Romulus in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. During the time when the Borgia family ruled Rome the Colosseum became dilapidated and began to crumble. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood it is a location of one of Subject 16's puzzles.
The Colosseum is where the Passion play is held, as the crosses displayed there are for the actors. Micheletto attended the play as one of the actors in an attempt to kill Pietro by order of Cesare Borgia. However, the plan was foiled as Ezio disguised himself and his apprentices as actors, and caused a riot in the arena.
After killing Cesare Borgia in Viana, Ezio hid the Apple of Eden in a vault in the Palace of Nero underneath the Colosseum. The modern-day assassins discovered this via the Animus, and headed to the Colosseum in Rome, where they discovered the Apple's vault underneath the structure.
