About this pattern

The Colosseum in Rome seen from outside, in pale stone with dark openings. On the left the outer wall stands four floors high: three rows of arches under a top floor of small square windows. It breaks off in a slope down to the right, where two rows of arches are left. Darker gold bands part the floors, and the building stands on a strip of green grass. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 33 stitches and uses four thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 33 high: 1,546 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Light Straw 3822, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Old Gold 729 and 1 more).
