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.

Since 1885, the date of Victor Hugo's enthronement, the Pantheon has housed the remains of the country's great men and women: Voltaire, Rousseau, Marie Curie and Simone Veil. A true temple of the Nation, it was built by Soufflot under Louis XV to the glory of Saint Geneviève, patron saint of Paris and symbol of the monarchy.
