'Red zone' created around Rome's Colosseum due to increase in crime

SIC Notícias28 August 2026 at 15:29

A 'red zone' has been created in the surroundings of Rome's Colosseum due to the increase in crime in the area. This reinforced security zone aims to combat criminal activity that has been growing in the historic area of the Italian capital.

The red zones in the Esquilino and San Lorenzo neighborhoods were confirmed and expanded. These areas are located near Termini station, one of Rome's main railway terminals and an area frequently visited by tourists and travelers.

The measure comes in response to reports of increasing crime, including theft, pickpocketing, and other offenses that affect both residents and visitors of the city. The Italian authorities decided to implement these zones with greater police presence and surveillance to try to reverse this trend.
