Pantheon - Rome
According to Stendhal, the Pantheon is all that remains of the most perfect Roman architecture. This monumental temple has effortlessly traversed the ages and demonstrates an architectural greatness, almost impossible to recreate today. Built during 1 BC, the Pantheon was commissioned as a temple dedicated to the Gods of Rome in order to prove Rome’s greatness and dedication. If you decide to visit, then make sure you look at the dome, which incidentally is the largest of its kind. Also not to be missed are the beautiful bronze doors leading to the cellar. Today the Pantheon is used as a Catholic church, dedicated to Saint Mary and the Martyrs but informally known as Santa Maria Rotonda. Masses are celebrated here, particularly on important days of obligation in the Catholic Church.
