Rome Pantheon Highlights
The Entrance
Sixteen monolithic columns spread across 33-meters stand at the entrance of the monument. The porch was built to replace the original steps that led to the Pantheon's entrance. The cylindrical portions are made of Egyptian granite, while the decorative top of the column and bases were carved from white Greek marble. All the columns vary in height and width. An inscription above the Pantheon reads: "M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIUM·FECIT" meaning, 'Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time, built this'.
The Dome
The world's largest unreinforced solid concrete dome, it is made of three domes placed one within the other, is constructed entirely of stone. The interior of the dome has a nine-meter circular opening at its center, the oculus, which is the building's only source of light. The interior is filled with sloping drains to ensure that the rainwater that enters does not flood the building. It is believed that the interior of the dome symbolizes the arched vault of the heavens. The dome features five rings of 28 coffers.
Artworks
The Pantheon is the site of burial for Italian kings such as Victor Emmanuel II, Renaissance painter Raphael, and sculptor Flaminio Vacca among others. You will find stucco reliefs by Carlo Monaldi and frescos by Melozzo da Forli. Above the main altar, you will see an original icon of the Madonna and Child from the 7th century. Fresco depicting the Coronation of the Virgin, sculpture of St Anne and the Blessed Virgin, and paintings by Francesco Cozza are some of the other works of art you will find here.
