Interesting place. Has a lots of history but the guide is 10 euros and you need to leave your Id or passport which i decided to not do and you could download the pantheon app for 2 euros. So i advise you to have headphones on you
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.
