Roman Colosseum by Frank Neuperger from the GigaPan The Roman Forum , Rome, Italy by Frank Neuperger
The arena was originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, after the family name of the emperors who built it. The name "Colosseum" was not used until 7th century, and derives from the colossal statue of Nero that once stood here.
No one knows exactly how much the building of the Colosseum cost. But in A.D. 70 Titus had sacked the city of Jerusalem. The fabulous treasures of Jerusalem paid for the building of the Colosseum, and no expense was spared in the project.
Construction on the Colosseum began under Emperor Vespasian (69-79) and was completed under his son Titus (79-81) in 80 AD. It was built on the site of an artificial lake created by Nero in this valley between Rome's many hills, in front of his Domus Aurea palace.
Gladiatorial combats were outlawed by the Christian emperor Honorius in 407 and fights with wild beasts were banned in 523. After this, the arena went out of use.
According to the bishop and church historian Theodoret, Honorius was moved to ban the bloody spectacle of the gladiators because of a simple monk named Telmachus.

What is this by Frank Neuperger from the GigaPan The Roman Forum , Rome, Italy by Frank Neuperger
Saw this many times walking around and from the bus but never got close enough to figure out what it was.
2013: Finally 4 years later with a bunch of work on Google Earth and Bing Maps, I figured out what it is. The following is from wiki:
Sacro Cuore di Gesú al Castro Pretorio (English: Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Praetorian Barracks) is a Roman Catholic parish and titular church in Rome, Italy.
It was built in 1887 by Francesco Vespignani.[1] Dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the church is served by the Salesians. It has an adjoining boarding-school of arts and industries.0 comments
