One of the most impressive Roman buildings still standing, the Pantheon now finds itself in the middle of bustling Rome.
Here, I found many bars and restaurants sprawling over the square, full with tourists. The view is perfect, and moreover, the sun shines right on the square. I decided to go right inside the building. The entrance is monumental, with eight high columns supporting the roof above, but the main building, the cupola of the Pantheon itself, is largely obscured from the viewer on the square. Once inside, the immensity of the building becomes clear. You can only admire emperor Hadrian's architects who designed this building, without any pillars to support it - they managed to construct a building that still stands after almost 2000 years! The dome is self-supporting and an example for many architects after Hadrian's time.
