The pantheon in Rome is an antique monument. It is famous for its cement dome inside the building. The impressive building located in the centrum of the italian capital belongs to the best preserved buildings of the ancient Greek world. Today it evokes still a spiritual aura, which fascinates visitors as well as locals.
The fascinating construction of the present building was inspired by the roman emperor Hadrian, who rebuilded it as a temple during the second century A.D. During the reign of emperor Honorius the use as a temple has been permanently discontinued until the Middle Age. In the sixth century it was consecrated as a Christian church. The official name of the Roman Catholic Church is Santa Maria ad Martyres.
The dome is an architectural model and enthuses locals as well als tourists. The material of the dome is consisting of a light vulcanic stone, which is in terms of weight important. The only source of light is the nine meter big round hole at the highest point of the dome. The sun shine creates an unforgettable and sublime atmosphere.
