The real Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is said to have been approximately 32 meters high. The cinematic version stands 110 meters and its legs bestride the harbour. The actual location of the original colossus is still debated. The fortress at the entrance of the harbour is cited as one possible location with the Acropolis of Rhodes on a hill overlooking the harbour cited as another. Scholars generally agree, however, that anecdotal depictions of the Colossus straddling the harbour's entry point have no historic or scientific basis.
