The Roman Coliseum went dark for 30 minutes on Friday night in honor of the victims of Thursday's terrorist attacks in Spain, where at least 14 people died and 100 were injured.
The iconic Flavian Amphitheater, a symbol of the Eternal City, turned off its lights at 22:00 local time (20:00 GMT) for half an hour, before the watchful eye of tourists and Italians who came to participate in the event.
The gesture was proposed by the Ministry of Culture of Italy and the City of Rome as a symbol of closeness and solidarity from the Italian people with the deceased and those injured in the attacks both in Barcelona and in the town of Cambrils.
The twin terrorist attacks in Catalonia killed at least 14 people, 13 of them on the pedestrian street Las Ramblas in Barcelona where they were mowed down by a van. The other victim died in Cambrils, also after being struck by a car.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Among the dead are at least four Spaniards, two Italians, one Belgian and one American.
