To Mass in the Colosseum

Whether celebrated in the open, in a tin shed or a magnificent cathedral, the Mass is the same. However, to attend Mass in the Colosseum in Rome is unforgettable.

When in Rome you can do that any Sunday at 10 am

If on entering the Colosseum you go to the left on the ground floor level you will see a large metal cross on the right. Opposite the cross is the door to a small chapel.

The chapel will accommodate about 20 people. On all days except Sunday morning the chapel is closed.

Tended by nuns from a nearby convent and ministered to by a priest from a Roman parish, the chapel is always filled to capacity on Sunday. To get a seat one needs to be there before the door opens just before 10 am.
