Italia - Roma - PanteĂ³n
***
ENGLISH:
The Pantheon (Latin: Pantheum, from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheion, "[temple] of all the gods") is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple, which had burned down.
The building is cylindrical 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. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43 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 in use as a church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" (Latin: Sancta Maria ad Martyres) but informally known as "Santa Maria Rotonda".
The Pantheon's large circular domed cella, with a conventional temple portico front, was unique in Roman architecture. Nevertheless, it became a standard exemplar when classical styles were revived, and has been copied many times by later architects.

SPANISH:
El PanteĂ³n de Agripa o PanteĂ³n de Roma es un antiguo templo romano, en la actualidad una iglesia, situado en la ciudad de Roma, en el lugar de un anterior templo encargado por Marco Agripa durante el gobierno de Augusto. Fue terminado por orden del emperador Adriano y dedicado alrededor del año 126. Su fecha de construcciĂ³n es incierta porque Adriano optĂ³ por no inscribir el nuevo templo, sino que conservĂ³ la inscripciĂ³n del templo mĂ¡s antiguo que se habĂa quemado.
El nombre procede del griego pantheion, que significa «todos los dioses». La mayorĂa de autores latinos emplean la forma griega Pantheon. La forma latina Pantheum estĂ¡ atestiguada en Plinio el Viejo.
El edificio es circular con un pĂ³rtico de grandes columnas corintias de granito —ocho en la primera fila y dos grupos de cuatro detrĂ¡s— bajo un frontĂ³n. Un vestĂbulo rectangular une el pĂ³rtico con la rotonda, que se encuentra bajo una cĂºpula de hormigĂ³n artesonado con una abertura central (Ă³culo) hacia el cielo. Casi dos mil años despuĂ©s de su construcciĂ³n, la del PanteĂ³n sigue siendo la cĂºpula de hormigĂ³n sin armar mĂ¡s grande del mundo. La altura hasta el Ă³culo y el diĂ¡metro del cĂrculo interior son los mismos: cuarenta y tres metros. Su celda circular abovedada con un pĂ³rtico convencional fue Ăºnica en la arquitectura romana. Sin embargo, se convirtiĂ³ en un ejemplo estĂ¡ndar cuando se revivieron los estilos clĂ¡sicos y fue copiada en numerosas ocasiones por los arquitectos posteriores.
Es uno de los edificios de la Antigua Roma mejor conservados, principalmente porque ha estado en uso continuo durante toda su historia. Desde el siglo VII se ha utilizado como iglesia, recibiendo actualmente el nombre de basĂlica de Santa MarĂa y los MĂ¡rtires, pero siendo informalmente conocida por Santa MarĂa Rotonda.

Portico of the Pantheon - Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs - in Rome.
It's difficult to appreciate the scale of the building. I did take some shots inside but even with a 14mm lens it wasn't possible to fit in the rotunda ceiling and oculus.
From Wikipedia:
The Pantheon is an ancient 2nd century Roman temple and, since AD 609, a Catholic church called the Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs (Italian: Basilica Santa Maria ad Martyres) in Rome, Italy. It is perhaps the most famous, and architecturally most influential, rotunda.
The Pantheon was built on the site of an earlier temple, which had been commissioned by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC–AD 14). After the original burnt down, the present building was ordered by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated c. AD 126. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose to re-inscribe the new temple with Agrippa's original date inscription from the older temple.
The building is round in plan, except for the portico with 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. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43 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. Since the 7th century, it has been a church dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs (Latin: Sancta Maria ad Martyres), known as "Santa Maria Rotonda". The square in front of the Pantheon is called Piazza della Rotonda. The Pantheon is a state property, managed by Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism through the Polo Museale del Lazio. In 2013, it was visited by over six million people.
The Pantheon's large circular domed cella, with a conventional temple portico front, was unique in Roman architecture. Nevertheless, it became a standard exemplar when classical styles were revived, and has been copied many times by later architects.

I've been digging through my hard drive and came up with these pictures from my first visit to Rome in 2005. They were taken on film and scanned so the quality is not up to modern day standards.
I had initially overlooked them, but looking at them with a fresh eye made me realise how long I have been taking street photo's.
