You see the image in photos and movies, but to stand out and inside the structure is, well - stunning.

It actually does rain inside. We were there in Nov 2008 and it rained inside. They just block off the area just below the hole.

I thought it was cool that it has a big hole in the center and it doesnt rain on the inside

This was my favorite place in Rome. It is more quiet and reverent than the Vatican, although not near as large and grand but opulent in itself. Go later in the day after the crowds leave, and be sure to get the audio guide which is helpful. This is one of Romes true masterpieces!

the pantheon was incredible, what a large building, the art and statues inside was manificent.best time to go to rome is in february not a lot of people. a must see when in rome.

This is DEFINITELY something to see while in Rome! It was beautiful and magical. The colors inside are so incredible and just knowing the history adds to the atmosphere. I had to go back one more time before I left Rome.

A must see for anyone visiting Rome. I had goose bumps the whole time I was inside. It's amazing a 2000 year old building is in such pristine condition.

The ancient architecture is magnificient!
The best time to visit is in Spring or Autumn when temperatures are tolerable for sight seeing. This was definitely one of the best places to visit.

Only in Italy could such a place be. In California it could not exsist. It's not sprinklered, It's not earth quake proof, it only has one door in. Hey it has a hole in the ceiling to let the rain in !!! ( floor drains remove it) We coukd learn from their zoning laws. "No building shall be tall than St Peter's." Makes wonderful sence doesn't it.
