    The Pantheon, completed in 126 AD under Emperor Hadrian, features a 43.3-meter-wide concrete dome—the largest unreinforced dome in the world. Entry costs €5 for adults, and it lies just 450 meters from Piazza Navona in central Rome.

    The Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda as Rome’s best-preserved ancient monument. Built in 126 AD as a temple to all the gods and later consecrated as a church, its soaring brick-faced concrete dome features a central oculus and showcases remarkable engineering. Surrounded by cafes and framed by granite Corinthian columns, the Pantheon connects centuries of history with modern Roman life.
