Magnificent building with over 2000 years of history. We found our visit to such a beautiful and imposing structure unforgettable. Also worth visiting to see Raphael's burial place. More

Initially I wasn't impressed when I got to the Pantheon. The outside is quite unattractive. Once you are inside however it is much more impressive. More

Our hotel was near the Pantheon and we went by there every day. It is such a magnificent structure, worth seeing in the daytime and lit up in the evening. The interior is lovely and free to enter! But the outside really spoke to us. The piazza is nice... I would recommend skipping the Trevi Fountain (gobs of tourists!) and... More

It was beautiful to see, however it was somewhat loud even though you were asked to be quiet. There were hundreds of people so it was a little too crowded to enjoy More

Built by the Romans to honor all gods, including ones they may have missed, re-dedicated as a Catholic church, the final resting place of Raphael, this Pantheon was a severe disappointment: crowded with photo-taking tourists, loud, utterly lacking in any sense of spirituality. What a shame. More
