Pantheon
history
The original Pantheon was built in 27 BC but it was destroyed in a fire in 80.
The building we see nowadays dates from about 125, during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian.
The Pantheon was built as a Roman temple and later consecrated as a Catholic Church.
It is the best preserved ancient Roman building with its original roof.
Pantheon in Latin means "Temple of all the Gods".
The picture to the right is the roof of the hemispherical dome.
