About the model

This detailed LEGO model of Rome captures the essence of the Eternal City on a microscale. The build is divided into four modular sections, each representing a unique area of the city. The Colosseum is built using SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques and curved elements to recreate its iconic oval structure. Various microbuild techniques are used throughout the model to suggest domes, temples, modern blocks, and ancient ruins. Just like the actual map of Rome, the model highlights the historic center surrounded by modern districts. This detailed LEGO model of Rome mirrors the real city’s layout, capturing famous landmarks. Landmarks are placed with careful attention to geographic accuracy, making it easy to match the LEGO build with a real city map.
