How many of these have undergone serious repairs? I've seen multiple news stories about colosseum repairs and renovations during my lifetime, and I'm sure there were plenty of earlier efforts. Rome has burned or been hit by major earthquakes multiple times since these things were built.
- freewilly1040 5y agoI’m currently wrapping up a trip touring many ancient monuments during winter (aka off-season), and nearly all of them were having some kind of renovation work being done. Usually it’s a combination of whatever ancient stone is left from antiquity, combined with new material of the same type that would have been used originally (though not in all cases, there is some form of “artificial stone” that is used at times, not sure of what that is). So, my guess at the answer to your question would be all of them, many times over.
