Its history began in the year 27 BC, when Marco Vipsanio Agrippa, son-in-law, friend and collaborator of Augustus, had the first temple dedicated to "all the gods" built in this area. Its current form, however, is due to Hadrian, who had it rebuilt between 118 and 125 AD, enlarging it, reversing its orientation and opening a large arcaded square in front of the new temple.

Beautiful wide avenue leading up to the Panthéon. Don't forget to turn around and look the other way. In good weather, you also have a view of the Eiffel Tower. Brilliant location in this city. A visit to the Panthéon itself is also more than worth it.
