Pantheon
 

Description

Commissioned by Marcus Agrippa, restored by Domitian, and subsequently rebuilt by Hadrian (who added the dome), the Pantheon was turned into a church in the early 7th Century by Pope Boniface IV. The building's sole source of light is the opening at the dome's apex (the oculus); according to popular legend, this formed the base for the bronze pine cone that is now in the Vatican's Pigna courtyard, where it is used as a fountain. Many famous Italians are buried in the Pantheon, including Renaissance painter Raphael and King Vittorio Emanuele I.

It is my favorite thing in Rome. Do not miss this!!! It is huge! One of the only things in Rome without a line and no fee to get in.

Rain in the Pantheon
By Tracy, 7/15/09
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.

#1 in Rome
By bestlove, 5/28/08
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!

What an experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/15/07
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.

The Pantheon
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/19/07
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.

We will definitely go back!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/10/07
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.

A magical place
By manfrommombasa, 9/19/07
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.
