The Pantheon


The Pantheon is still the largest unsupported concrete dome in the world, two millennia after its construction. It is the best-preserved of Rome's ancient monuments and one of the most influential buildings in the Western world. Built by Hadrian over Marcus Agrippa's earlier 27 BC temple, it has stood since around AD 125. It is a unique and exhilarating experience to pass through its vast bronze doors and gaze up at the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built. The interior is quite a sight, with its intricate designs all crafted with such care and meaningfulness.
