I must admit that I built this place up in my head because when I first saw I did know think it would look so crumbled but it was still an awe inspiring site. We walked here from Capital Hill and stopped and got the first fresh slice of pizza at a shop on the way. We ate lunch on... more

When in Rome this is one of the must see attractions. The atmosphere both inside and outside is wonderful and the view of the oculus at the top of the roof is amazing. Don't miss out on this. more

This church is a gem, nice to in the day light but better in the late evening just before it closes, wait to be pushed out last and have some time inside alone to take in the atmosphere. more

- A real old building that is well preserved and can be visited inside for free. - The square in front of it is tiny but cozy; it’s common to see people eating pizza slices, ice creams or drinking beer seating around the fountain. - Talking about ice creams…you should go for one of the best ice creams I already... more

This was the most beautiful old church we saw in Rome,we had a private rented apartment only a few mins walk from it.But we could never seemto be there when mass was going on. You really should visit the Pantheon in Rome. more

The Pantheon was built 2 millennia ago. This domed temple served as the model for Michelangelo's dome of St. Peter's, the Florence cathedral dome and the dome of Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Building. Entrance is free and is open Mon - Sat 8:30 am - 7:30 pm, Sun 9 am - 6 pm and Holidays 9 am - 1 pm. It... more

This is quite a large building that is still standing and in good shape despite being built in the Roman era. The facade is imposing with the large columns making a glorious facade. The pantheon is quite large but very crowded being one of the most visited places in Rome. The piazza infront has a couple of expensive restaurants and... more

Located in a busy area of city with shops and restaurants, the Pantheon should not be missed by a traveler to Rome. From the outside, it is well preserved. Walking under the portico, look up to see the detail in the stonework. The interior is interesting for the tombs, including Rapheal and Vittorio Emanuele. The Pantheon is the oldest church... more

Amazing!

We arrived around the back of the Pantheon and really, when you walk up the back and see how it dates compared to the rest of the city you are amazed. I downloaded Rick Steve's audio guide and map that I used before I went to learn about the history. His audio guides and maps of Rome were great! I... more

Pantheon may not be the most beautiful building in Rome, but it is amazing considering its age. Whereas the forum is a lovely collection of ruins, here is a building from the time of the Roman empire completely intact and still in use. The only light is provided by the hole in the roof which kids will find fascinating, especially... more
