"The most beautiful vestige of Roman antiquity. A temple that has suffered so little that it appears to us just as the Romans must have seen it in their time," was how the French writer Stendhal described it in the 19th century. A source of inspiration for the greatest architects of all eras and always admired for its beauty, the harmony of its lines, and the perfect geometric calculation of its masses, the Pantheon is in fact one of the best-preserved examples of Roman monumental architecture.

The Pantheon in Rome is one of the best-preserved buildings from Roman antiquity, originally built as a temple for all the gods. It is known for its enormous dome with an oculus in the center, which provides natural light. Today, it serves as a church and the resting place of famous Italians such as the artist Raphael.
