Panthéon

  Rising gracefully in the Latin Quarter of Paris, Panthéon stands as a neoclassical mausoleum and a testament to French history. Completed in 1790, this significant building originally began as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, showcasing its transition into a national monument. With its impressive dome reaching 81 meters high, visitors can explore the crypt where notable figures like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Marie Curie are entombed. From mid-April to late September, the Panthéon opens its terrace, providing visitors a panoramic view of the city. While exploring, you can also admire the grand interior and ephemeral exhibitions that celebrate the lives of those resting within its walls.
