Panthéon, University building and historic monument in Latin Quarter, Paris, France.

The Pantheon features a neoclassical design with a triple dome structure, massive Corinthian columns, and an impressive stone facade.

King Louis XV ordered its construction in 1744 after his recovery from illness, and the building was completed in 1790.

The crypt contains the remains of distinguished French citizens, including scientists, writers, politicians, and resistance fighters.

The building serves as a lecture hall for Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne University while remaining open to visitors daily.

Foucault's pendulum, suspended from the central dome, provides a scientific demonstration of Earth's rotation through its continuous movement.
