Pantheon (building)

The Pantheon in Rome is an ancient Roman temple built around 125 BCE, renowned for its massive dome and oculus—the central opening that allows light to enter. Its design features a large circular interior with a rotunda and a highly durable concrete construction, exemplifying Roman engineering mastery. Originally dedicated to all gods ("pantheon" means "all gods"), it later became a Christian church. The Pantheon’s perfect proportions and innovative architecture have influenced countless buildings throughout history. Today, it remains a well-preserved monument and a testament to Roman ingenuity, attracting millions of visitors interested in its historical and architectural significance.
