PANTHEON

The Pantheon is the best-preserved building from ancient Rome and was completed in c. 125 CE. Its magnificent concrete dome is a lasting testimony to the genius of Roman architects and as the building stands virtually intact it offers a unique opportunity for the modern visitor to step back 2,000 years and experience the glory that was Rome. The purpose of the building is not known for certain but the name, porch and pediment decoration suggest a temple of some sort.
