when was the earthquake that destroyed the colosseum?
75 ad
severe damage was inflicted on the colosseum by the great earthquake in 1349, causing the outer south side, lying on a less stable alluvial terrain, to collapse. much of the tumbled stone was reused to build palaces, churches, hospitals and other buildings elsewhere in rome. a religious order moved into the northern third of the colosseum in the mid-14th century and continued to inhabit it until as late as the early 19th century. the interior of the amphitheater was extensively stripped of stone, which was reused elsewhere, or (in the case of the marble façade) was burned to make quicklime. the bronze clamps which held the stonework together were pried or hacked out of the walls, leaving numerous pockmarks which still scar the building today.
