Severe damage was inflicted on the Colosseum by the great earthquake of 1349, causing the outer south side to collapse!. Much of the tumbled stone was reused to build palaces, churches, hospitals and other buildings elsewhere in Rome!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

YES!. The outer wall has deteriorated over the years but when the building was new, the outer wall was complete!. You can see places where there has been an attempt to replace part of the wall during modern times!.
