The Colossus is a Great Wonder in Civilization III. It requires Bronze Working and is obsoleted by Flight. It can only be built in a coastal city. It causes its city to produce one extra Commerce in every square that already produces at least one. This Great Wonder can become a tourist attraction and may trigger Golden Age for Commercial, Expansionist and Seafaring civilizations.

Civilopedia entry[]

The Colossus of Rhodes was a bronze statue of Helios, the Greek God of the Sun, erected near the mouth of the city harbor. It stood over 100 feet high, about two-thirds the height of the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, an earthquake toppled it only 56 years after its construction. Taking the counsel of an oracle, the city elected to leave the statue where it lay. For over 900 years, people from all over the ancient world came to Rhodes to see the Colossus. It remained where it was until 654 AD when the Muslims who plundered the city sold the statue for scrap.
