Maxi-Europe is a fictional megalographic theme park of Europe. The park is 100 kilometers square. Its various attractions, centered around old city public squares, are connected by subways. In addition to ancient (Stonehenge, Colosseum) and modern monuments (Eiffel Tower) it also features natural landmarks such as the Alps.
The original idea was first put forward by Umberto Eco in Faith in Fakes. In the essay, Eco advises that a copy of the Colosseum should be built for tourists. The original Colosseum would then be prohibited to the general public and only accessible for academics.
