Pantheon Picture
Pantheon Picture - the Pantheon was built in 125 AD as a temple to the seven deities of the seven planets in the state religion of Ancient Rome. It is the best preserved of all Roman buildings, and perhaps the best preserved building of its age in the
world. It has been in continuous use throughout its history.
Pantheon Picture - interior of the Pantheon. The Pantheon is still a church and
masses are still celebrated.
Pantheon Picture - the ray of light you see is coming through the opening in the concrete dome. The opening in the dome let's in light and rain. The floor is designed to allow rain water to drain away. |
