It's well-preserved and imposing. It contains the tombs of two Italian kings (Umberto I and Vittorio Emanuele II). The artist Raphael is also buried there. Have a look inside, the admission is free. The dome that the Romans managed to build is a masterpiece.close

So take a trip to this lovely little piazza you wont be disappointedclose

45Definitely my favourite part of Rome. I thought this was amazing! You are walking through all these tiny narrow streets filled with people, and next thing you end up bumping right into it, literally! The Pantheon is an amazing feat of engineering, considering its still standing, given the wars,... more Definitely my favourite part of Rome. I thought this was amazing! You are walking through all these tiny narrow streets filled with people, and next thing you end up bumping right into it, literally! The Pantheon is an amazing feat of engineering, considering its still standing, given the wars, etc that it has withstood. When many of the great historical buildings around it crumbled to the ground the Pantheon is still standing. There is something really awe inspiring about standing inside and looking up through the centre of the ceiling. I recommend having someone with you who knows a bit of the history however, it makes it a lot more interesting.close
