The Pantheon (/ˈpænθiən/ or US /ˈpænθiɒn/; Latin: Pantheon,] from Greek Πάνθεον meaning "every god") is a building in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier building commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). The present building was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD. He retained Agrippa's original inscription, which has confused its date of construction.

  

The building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.[3] The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft).

  

It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings, in large part because it has been in continuous use throughout its history, and since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" (Latin: Santa Maria ad Martyres) but informally known as "Santa Maria Rotonda". The square in front of the Pantheon is called Piazza della Rotonda.

 

Omaggio a Vittorio Emanuele II di Savoia

  

Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate

Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli

Ove olezzano tepide e molli

L'aure doci, del suolo natal!

Del giordano le rive saluta

Di sionne le torri atterrate

Oh, mia patria si belle perduta

Oh, membranza si cara e fatal!

Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati

Perche muta dal salince pendi?

Le memorie nel petto raccendi

Ci favella del tempo che fu!

O simile di solima ai fati

Traggi un suono di crudo lamento

O t'ispiri il signore un concento

Che ne infonda al partire virtu!

Che ne infonda al partire virtu!

Che ne infonda al partire virtu!r

Al partire virtu!

Der Tempel (für alle Götter) wurde zwischen 118-125 n. Chr. erbaut und die Kuppel war für etwa 1700 Jahre die größte der Welt

Ultimo scatto estrapolato dalla tour Romana, la tipica volta "bucata" del Pantheon, dal momento che la luce non era il massimo, ho deciso di convertire lo scatto in bianco e nero

The Renaissance artist, Raphael, requested that he be buried in the Pantheon and in 1520 he got his wish.

The Pantheon is one of the most well preserved buildings from ancient Rome and is about 2,000 years old.

There are many famous monuments all over the world modelled on the Pantheon in Rome such as; the US Capitol Building, the Pantheon in Paris, Santa Maria del fiore in Florence and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C.

[...] I saw the Pantheon and St. Peter's Basilica when people were not there, when you can engage with art [...]
