This is a real stadium. Meet the Anfiteatro de Pula, located in Croacia.

The Colosseum was built between 27 B.C. and 81 A.D. by the Roman Empire and to this day remains in perfect condition, to such an extent that it lends itself to massive events.

  · The Intempo in Benidorm, Spain,

The building consists of two parallel towers separated by a gap of 20 metres and connected by a cone-shaped structure between floors 38 and 44. Its frontal view, vaguely resembling the number 11 and the letter M, has led commentators to speculate about a possible reference to the terrorist attacks of 11 March 2004 in Madrid. It is one of the few skyscrapers in the world which has the shape of an arch (another in Europe being the Grande Arche in Paris).

That building makes me feel sick, how does it stay up? I would't be able to sleep if I lived on a high floor. Amazing building though

Should make it a massive helter skelter. Descent would be a lot quicker.

The Majestic Park Central building in China. The building spans 174 meters high.

How to use every square centimetre.
