“Did you know The Pantheon still holds the record for the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world
The spectacular 43.2m (142ft) dome was built using concrete combined with lighter materials such as tufa and pumice to gradually decrease the weight as the dome rises. It was the largest dome in the world for more than 1300 years until Brunelleschi, inspired by the Pantheon, built his famous Duomo in Florence”

💡Local Tips & History

The Pantheon was truly expression of the glory for the Roman Empire. The Pantheon, from the Greek "of all Gods", was built under Emperor Augustus which wanted to dedicate the temple to the seven planetary divinities. The Pantheon was always the inspiration for the architects during the Renaissance.
An astonishing 2,000-year-old temple, now a church, the Pantheon is a remarkable building to see when in Rome. The Pantheon, built as a temple to all gods, is the best-preserved marvel from Ancient Rome. Its main and most fascinating feature is the design of the dome and open oculus, the only source of natural light. Tourists from around the world flock into the Pantheon to see what Michelangelo defined as an “angelic and not human design”. The Pantheon also houses the tomb of the great painter Raphael.
The square in front of the Pantheon is called Piazza della Rotonda. It is located near Piazza Navona and Campo de Fiori, so take the opportunity to stroll around in this area, there is much to see.
Good to know:
This site is still an active Catholic church and place of prayer so remember to speak softly and dress respectably.
You can easily reach the Pantheon in just 5 minutes. From the Trevi Fountain, walk westbound along via delle Muratte, continue straight along via di Pietra passing by the Adrian Temple, and continue straight along via dei Pastini. You will then reach the Pantheon square called Piazza della Rotonda.
