Pantheon

  Pantheon sits in the heart of Rome, just a short walk from Piazza Navona. Built around 126 AD, this ancient temple is renowned for its massive dome, which spans 43.3 meters and features a central oculus that connects the interior to the sky. Originally dedicated to the gods of Ancient Rome, today, it serves as a church and a burial site for several important figures, including the painter Raphael. Visiting in January, you might witness the Pantheon in its quiet winter state, allowing for a more intimate experience away from the bustling crowds. Inside, marvel at the marble flooring and ancient tombs, or simply enjoy the serene atmosphere of this architectural masterpiece.
