Other notable Roman builds:

The Colosseum (Flavian Amphitheater) of Rome, the largest and most famous of the Roman amphitheaters, was opened for use A.D. 80. Elliptical in shape, it consisted of three stories and an upper gallery, rebuilt in stone in its present form in the 3rd century A.D. It was principally used for gladiatorial combat and could seat between 40,000 and 50,000 spectators.

The Pantheon at Rome, begun by Agrippa in 27 B.C. as a temple, was rebuilt in its present circular form by Hadrian (A.D. 118–128). Literally the Pantheon was intended as a temple of “all the gods.” It is remarkable for its perfect preservation today, and has served continuously for 20 centuries as a place of worship.

Famous Roman triumphal arches, built to commemorate major military victories, include the Arch of Titus (c. A.D. 80) and the Arch of Constantine (c. A.D. 315).

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is probably the building you're talking about, but it isn't Roman. The Tower is in Pisa, not Rome, Italy. Construction began in 1173, almost a thousand years after the Roman Empire came to an end.

As far as I know, none. Some people say that the tower of Pisa, but it was built long after the Roman Empire had fallen

It's the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I'd google it because it undoubtedly has a "real" name - this is just the popular name for it.
