In short

What Pantheon di Roma is

The Pantheon in Rome, located in Piazza della Rotonda, is one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in the world. Originally commissioned by Marcus Agrippa and later rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian, this iconic temple is renowned for its massive unreinforced concrete dome, which still holds the world record for size. At the center of the dome is the oculus, a 9-meter circular opening that serves as the building's only source of natural light.

The Pantheon was converted into a Christian church in the 7th century, known as the Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs, which helped preserve it through the ages. Besides its extraordinary architecture, the Pantheon is also the final resting place of notable figures such as Renaissance painter Raphael and two Italian kings, Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I.

Access to the Pantheon now requires an admission ticket, and it is highly recommended to book tickets in advance to skip the long queues. Visitors are expected to dress modestly and maintain a respectful demeanor, as it is still an active place of worship.

Its origins

The history

The Pantheon was originally commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus, but the current building was reconstructed by Emperor Hadrian around 126 AD. In the 7th century, the Pantheon was converted into a Christian church, the Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs, protecting it from the destruction that befell many other ancient Roman structures.

Over the centuries, the Pantheon has served as the burial site for several historical figures, including the renowned Renaissance artist Raphael and Italian kings Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I.
