The Pantheon is one of the few buildings of Ancient Rome that has remained unchanged to this day.
The structure was built in 118-126 AD
. Raphael is buried here.
From what struck me:
on April 21, Rome's birthday, at noon - EVERY year on this day, the rays of the sun fall exactly on the main entrance to the Pantheon, through which the emperor entered.
The dome is open (see photo) so all weather phenomena like rain, snow, hail fall/drain onto the floor. There are 22 small drain holes in the marble floor for this purpose, which perform a drainage function, so that the water in the room does not stagnate.
It is incredible that two thousand years ago people were able to calculate everything so competently and correctly.
A beautiful and large building! It impresses with its beauty, even more inside!
Who is interested in what is written on the roof of the Pantheon for reference: "This building is almost 2000 years old — it was built in 118-126 AD by order of Emperor Hadrian. On the pediment of the building you can see the inscription "M. agrippa l f cos tertivm fecit", which translates as: "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, elected consul for the third time, erected this.""
😊
Our hotel was located directly opposite the Pantheon, there are many cafes and restaurants on the square, the wonderful atmosphere of ancient Rome, I recommend it to everyone for a rest
Beauty in everything!! Everything is steeped in history, the 15.15 tour you will not regret, two hours of walking with a city guide is better than walking yourself
A must-visit. For the first time, preferably with a guided tour. Now they have put chairs inside and besides the fact that you will linger to feel the greatness
.. You can just relax!
The structure was erected in 27 BC.!
The ideal place ["Temple of all the Gods" has been standing here since the beginning of the second century AD. The great creation of the equally great architect Apollodorus of Damascus] for those who miss in their northern country the strongest energy of sunny Italy and its unconditional symbol ["from the height of 2000 years of history, it impresses with the scale and shakes with the monumental majesty"] of the Eternal City!
Briefly about the main thing:
"The most mystical museum in Rome.
Feel like the hero of the book "The Da Vinci Code"."
The main thing is short:
"Inside are the sarcophagi of Raphael, Queen Margarita (the one after whom the pizza was named) and several other honored people."
We visited the Pantheon in Rome. To say that we are impressed is to say nothing. The beauty and size of this cathedral cannot be expressed in words. We need to go and watch. We got to the Pantheon on a free day. But for those who buy tickets, a tip: if there are two or more of you, then queue at the ticket office and at the entrance at the same time. The queue at the entrance moves faster and in 15 minutes you will go inside, but the queue at the checkout is moving slowly, since everyone is stupid at the cash machines. Consider this too.
We did not buy tickets in advance. There are two queues at the cash desks on the sides of the pantheon - cash on the left, bank cards on the right. You approach the lady first, and then she lets you into a small room - entrance is 5 euros. And then with the ticket you enter the main doors of the pantheon. The queue at 12 o'clock lasted quickly, for a maximum of 15 minutes. Raphael and his bride are buried inside.

Very beautiful! Rome is fascinating! You can walk there for hours and enjoy this incredible atmosphere. You can also send postcards to relatives there ,😍 it is very nice to receive a postcard when you have already arrived from a trip !
An incredible place!
Unfortunately, since July 2023, the entrance to the Pantheon has become paid, 5 €, from which those who want to get inside have not decreased, of course. The queue moves fast in principle, two different ones - payment for the cache and by card.
It's incredibly beautiful inside, people are launched in portions, so you can safely walk around and sit and admire the dome :)
A fascinating place, it seems that through a hole in the ceiling there is a connection with the past. The greatness and indestructibility of the Roman Empire in this building.
There are always a lot of tourists, it's impossible to take a photo on the background without crowds of people) A monumental structure, and an unconditional symbol of the Eternal City. Be sure to visit!
A very energetically strong place. Two queues (by card and cash). But if you go to the entrance (before payment), you can see everything inside. To linger , to feel , and that's enough. I don't even remember the entry price. But it's enough to look at the entrance.
It is a very impressive structure, especially the window in the ceiling. For an engineer, it is simply inexplicable how it could have been built at that time.

There are always a lot of people. As they say, must see. If you walk around Rome for several days, you will pass by the Pantheon, as if by chance, more than once.

I've been wanting to visit here for a long time. The pantheon looks small on the outside, but is huge on the inside. It was disappointing that water gets there in the rain... it seems that children's books taught that this is impossible…
The Pantheon– an indispensable landmark of Rome, impresses with its scale and monumental grandeur from the height of its 2000–year history. In the afternoon, a burst of sunlight from above helps to achieve fantastic shots. The fountain opposite the Pantheon is refreshing in the heat, some dare not only to wash, but also to drink water from it
One of the strongest impressions left in Rome was from visiting the Pantheon. The "Temple of All the Gods" has been standing here since the beginning of the second century AD. The great creation of the equally great architect Apollodorus of Damascus. The dome is simply magnificent. I have always been interested in the "eye" in it, made for consecration. But what about the rains, or snow (it also happens sometimes in Rome). And that's lucky - I got into the Pantheon in the rain! It turns out there are neat holes in the floor where the water flows down without any visible problems) And it's been working for 1800 years already!
A must-visit. It impresses with its antiquity and power.
Admission is free. It closes at 18-30. There is a queue, but it moves fast enough. There are benches to sit on inside. You can stay as long as you want, no one throws you out.
Inside are the sarcophagi of Raphael, Queen Margarita (the one after whom the pizza was named) and several other honored people.
A magnificent building built on the instructions of Marcus Agrippa in 27-25 BC. (His name is carved on the pediment of the Pantheon).
An amazing design - imagine that the height of the dome and its diameter are equal (43.3 m.) In the center of the dome there is a hole with a diameter of 9 meters through which sunlight penetrates (well, rain, respectively). Everything inside is so fascinating that when you stand inside, the feeling of time disappears...
Perhaps one of the most interesting places in Rome! The so-called "temple of all the gods", a monument of the heyday of the architecture of Ancient Rome.
The Temple of All the Gods, one of the best locations in Rome, to the left of it is Minerva Square with slano, there is a work by Michelangelo in the temple, and Raphael lies in the Pantheon itself. A very powerful energy place.
