"Let Me In!!"

This is one of the massive ornate entry doors to the Pantheon, which was conceived as a magnificent 1790 church, but later desecularized and made a civic building. Many famous or "great" historical persons are interred in the crypt of the Pantheon, including: Madame and Pierre Curie, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, and Alexandre Dumas, among many others.

 

The facade and dome of this Latin Quarter building, inspired by the Roman Pantheon, were in restoration and were completely covered during our visit.
