visit to the Pantheon The iconic structure, of the Pantheon originally commissioned by Marcus Agrippa in 27 BC and subsequently rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 126 AD, is a temple dedicated to all the gods of Roman mythology.
What distinguishes the Pantheon is its awe-inspiring dome, which remains one of the largest unreinforced concrete domes in the world. Its perfect symmetry and harmonious proportions exemplify the architectural precision of the Romans.
The dome's crowning achievement is the oculus, a circular opening at its apex that bathes the interior in ethereal light, casting a dynamic interplay of light and shadow throughout the day. The Pantheon's enduring significance transcends its architectural marvel. It has been repurposed over the centuries, transforming from a pagan temple to a Christian church.
