The Pantheon Of Roma

Considered one of Rome´s most converted tourist attractions, The Pantheon was built more than 1800 years ago and stands as a remainder of the powerful Roman Empire.

The Pantheon was originally dedicated to Pan Theos, meaning “all the gods”, and later on was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and all the martyrs once it became a church. Initially built during 27-25 BC by the Magistrate Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, The Pantheon underwent significant modification in 125 AD when it was completely restructured by Hadrian, a cosmopolitan emperor who had travelled wide in the east. To this day, the tombs of Rafael and several Italian Kings remain symbolizing its vast and unique history. To visit this wonderful monument you maybe need an Accomodation in Roma

What visitors see when the stare in amazement in the Piazza della Rotonda, are the huge stone quarried pillars that had been made and transported away from Egypt .They are 11.8 meters in height and 1.5 meters in diameter and hold “the portico” and containing inscriptions attributing The Pantheon to Agrippa despite being reconstructed by Hadrian . Upon entering The Pantheon, you are exposed to the impressive dome that dominates the interior which is more than 43 metres high. Until Brunelleschi`s dome in 1436, The Pantheon stood as the largest dome.
The top of the dome contains an aperture known as “the oculus”, which is the Latin word for eye and provides the only source of light beaming onto marble ground. However, the dome reduces in thickness because it reaches the top, leaving the oculus to be 1.2 meters in a diameter. Inevitably, rain and snow does enter through the oculus however the cleverly redesigned Pantheon caters for this by means of a slanted ground that drains and water that hits the floor.
This regularly visited tourist place is becoming increasingly popular for any tourist in Roma. So go to Italia and take an Appartement in Roma
