Pantheon

Ancient Temple Rome, Italy

The temple of all the gods Pantheon

The Pantheon is a building from ancient Rome, built as a temple dedicated to all past, present and future divinities. This structure combines several architectural elements to form one of the most fascinating monuments in the capital.

The building consists of a circular structure joined to a portico in Corinthian columns (eight front and two groups of four in the second and third row) which support a pediment. The large circular cell, called rotunda, is surrounded by thick masonry walls and eight large pillars on which the weight of the characteristic hemispherical concrete dome is distributed. The dome houses at its apex a circular opening called the oculus, which allows the illumination of the internal environment.
