Who let the Colosseum go to shit? And how did that diagonal part come off so cleanly?

No answers. Did anybody take care of the structure after the Romans?

Probably not.
Renovating/fixing historical building is more a modern thing.

Catholic church couldnt give 2 shits about it, they often took parts off for building materials, most notably the marble cover

Nobody gave a shit about it for like 900 years after the fall of the empire.

The diagonal part is concrete reinforcements.

>Who let the Colosseum go to shit
The popes, they used it as a marble cave
>And how did that diagonal part come off so cleanly
Probably was cut in order to avoid subsequent
collapse after the earthquake that almost demolished it.
