The Pantheon is one of the few buildings of Ancient Rome that has remained unchanged to this day.
The structure was built in 118-126 AD
. Raphael is buried here.
From what struck me:
on April 21, Rome's birthday, at noon - EVERY year on this day, the rays of the sun fall exactly on the main entrance to the Pantheon, through which the emperor entered.
The dome is open (see photo) so all weather phenomena like rain, snow, hail fall/drain onto the floor. There are 22 small drain holes in the marble floor for this purpose, which perform a drainage function, so that the water in the room does not stagnate.
It is incredible that two thousand years ago people were able to calculate everything so competently and correctly.

A beautiful and large building! It impresses with its beauty, even more inside!
Who is interested in what is written on the roof of the Pantheon for reference: "This building is almost 2000 years old — it was built in 118-126 AD by order of Emperor Hadrian. On the pediment of the building you can see the inscription "M. agrippa l f cos tertivm fecit", which translates as: "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, elected consul for the third time, erected this.""
