One of the most impressive Roman buildings still standing, the Pantheon now finds itself in the middle of bustling Rome.
I decided to take a seat and just look up. The diameter is exactly equal to the height (43 metres), which means that the ceiling is high above you. An enormous opening in the middle of the ceiling (oculus) allows a beam of sunlight to travel across the ceiling during the day. According to ancient writers, the coffers in the ceiling were once richly decorated, but this has all disappeared. While the building was originally constructed as a house of all the ancient gods, it was consacrated as a Catholic building in the 7th century. It now houses the graves of two Italian kings, as well as the famous artist Raphael.
