Pantheon
Pantheon, Roman temple in Pigna district, Rome, Italy
The Pantheon features a colossal concrete dome measuring 43.3 meters in height and width, with a central oculus of 9 meters in diameter.
Originally built by Marcus Agrippa in 27 BCE, the current structure dates from 126 CE under Emperor Hadrian's reign after a fire destroyed the first temple.
The building transformed from a Roman temple into a Christian church in 608 CE, when Byzantine Emperor Phocas presented it to Pope Boniface IV.
The Pantheon opens Monday through Saturday from 8:30 AM to 7:15 PM and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 5:45 PM, with free admission for all visitors.
The enormous concrete dome remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world, maintaining its structural integrity for nearly two thousand years.
