Looking for a new Minecraft project? Try building a colosseum. It's the ideal way to get your creative juices flowing and build something you can show off to friends.

If you've played Minecraft for long enough, you already know the game has infinite potential builds. From simple houses and farms to elaborate architectural wonders fit for royalty, the only limit is your imagination. And while plenty of things in this world can inspire those ideas, one of the most common is history. Specifically, Roman history.

Many avid builders have found inspiration in their imaginations when recreating famous structures from ancient Rome, such as arenas and colosseums. There are so many examples out there that narrowing down our list was difficult. Here are five projects—ranging from small-scale replicas to full-size recreations—worth checking out if you want to build your Roman-style arena within Minecraft.

This build is perfect if you're looking for a cool colosseum built out of sandstone. It's great for PVP because it has many entrances and exits so you can come at your enemy from all sides. It's also a great build if you like to create in the style of ancient Rome or Greece—it looks like something right out of those games.

Like many colosseums, this one has many viewing rooms, which is another great thing for anyone looking to host a PVP battle here. The tutorial was made by the YouTuber Major Graft.


4) PVP Arena Colosseum

This colosseum is a great place for PVP. It has no ceiling and plenty of room to move around, so you can avoid being cornered by enemies. Unfortunately, there is no place to hide if things get too heated. Remember that they can see you just as easily as you can see them.

Spectators will also have fun watching the battles unfold here. With its high walls and open floor plan, it makes sense that this structure would be used as an arena for Roman gladiators in ancient times. This build was made by the YouTuber NeatCraft.

The build is extremely intricate and has a bunch of beautiful flags on top of it, giving it a unique look. This build will take quite a while due to the details put into this. This beautiful build was made by the YouTuber Trydar.
