An architectural marvel. If you have a fascination for architectural delights, then get here. This attraction has been preserved beautifully by the people of Rome. It was originally created as home to 12 classical deities who were venerated by the then Roman Empire. It had been converted to a Christian Church after it was gifted to the Pope by Byzantine Emperor Phocas. On a visit you can find the original Roman bronze doors preserved in their original form here. Still a Church, this building houses the tombs of a few prominent Italians. Few names in the list are Raphael, the artist and the first king of United Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II.

Another matter of pride to the Pantheon is that it is the oldest domed structure in the city. Fans say that this is what inspired even Michelangelo for the St. Peters Basilica dome. You can find pillars on its exterior which were common for Ancient Greece temples. Free entrance
