The Pantheon is one of the best preserved building in Rome. This huge structure was originally built as a temple for all the gods. There is so much history in this building. And I think the Pantheon is the largest dome in Rome if not in the world. We made the trip in the early morning so we could spend more time strolling. There was a long queue by the time we arrived. I guess everyone wants to get there first. Anyway, the various paintings and sculptures on displays are really amazing. My personal favorites are the Assumption (located on the left side of the entrance) and the statue of St Agnes. When you look up the ceiling, there greets you a huge dome with elaborate designs. It was a sight to behold. |
