The glorious Pantheon is Rome's only intact ancient Roman temple
"Simple, erect, severe, austere, sublime" is the list Byron made when his poet's pen began failing for words to capture the indescribable beauty of the Pantheon, a "temple to all the gods."
The only ancient Roman temple to survive the centuries intact is one of the engineering marvels of the ancient world.
It was designed in AD 118–125 by none other than Emperor Hadrian himself, who was quite the brilliant architect, and the genius of how its enormous concrete dome manages to hold up under its own weight remained a mystery until the masters of the Renaissance unlocked its secrets over 1,300 years later.
The Pantheon from the outside
Stand in front of it on the piazza for a moment before you go in. Or maybe sit on the steps of Giacomo Della Porta's 1578 fountain with the ugly, pug-nosed fishes spewing water beneath an Egyptian obelisk from Ramses II's time (this used to sit in a nearby temple to Isis, the Egyptian river goddess).
Before you is a massive and obviously ancient colonnade, with the uninspired comment "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, Consul for the third time, made this" inscribed in abbreviated Latin on the architrave. This chunk o' weathered history seems in better repair than most of the crumbling remains of the Caesars' Rome, but other than that, it d oesn't seem to be much.
Yet.
Save it for a moment. Get suitably impressed by passing through the small forest of massive granite columns supporting the portico's roof (in case you were wondering, they're about 44 feet high, and the pinkish ones are replacements for a few that got plundered by Popes).
The holes in some of the columns were made to hold wooden poles back when this magnificent porch was filled with poultry stalls. (The piazza out front was a fresh fish market. The smell must have been horrendous, but I must admit that Romans made good use of available space while the Popes were away in Avignon in the late Middle Ages).
Now squeeze through that open left hand bronze door (almost 2,000 years old, made of solid bronze, and weighing 20 tons—as does the other door, so don't even try to push it open yourself). Slip past the little souvenir stand just inside and let your eyes be drawn up.
You may gape now.
The Pantheon interior
There are a lot of other details to the Pantheon—measurements and dates and famous burials and infamous deeds—but at the moment you walk in they don't mean much. They don't even come close to summing up the airy, massive, and beautifully simple space filled with diffused sunlight that is the real wonder of the Pantheon.
Lose your gaze in the unfocused middle space for a while and enjoy it.
For the detail obsessed, I'll toss in a few of those facts for you to peruse while your friends undergo their mystical/religious experience and get tremendous cricks in their necks.
Those with an bit of Greek in their system will be able to figure that the name pantheon means "all the gods," and that is what Marcus Agrippa, general and son-in-law of Augustus Caesar, built on this spot in 27 BC.
That little, square temple burned a couple of times, and around AD 120, the traveling, intellectual, architecturally-inclined Emperor Hadrian cleared the ground and built a bigger, better, and much longer-lasting Pantheon of his own design in its place. Out of modesty—or an ostentatious display of modesty—Hadrian added the inscription about Agrippa outside, humbly giving him credit for the whole thing.
My own guess is that, whatever his other virtues, Hadrian was being the consummate showman when he added the inscription. The bulk of the temple's cylinder is hard enough to notice today from the front, but back in toga-times the whole building was five steps above ground level, so when you approached it, you wouldn't have seen the body of the temple at all. Just the portico.
I think Hadrian just wanted to add to the breath-catching, awe-inspiring experience of walking up to what appears to be just the small square temple of Agrippa, but then passing through the doors into a room that you would swear up and down could not possibly fit into that space.
Part of what makes the space so perfect is the harmony of its math.
The Pantheon is as tall as it is wide (142 feet both ways), and the coffered dome is a perfect half-sphere starting halfway up the wall. In other words, a 142-diameter sphere, if you could find one, would fit inside just perfectly.
That big hole in the ceiling though which a shaft of sunlight streams is called an oculus, and it is 18 meters (almost 30 feet) across. The walls are nearly 25 feet thick and the whole structure is made of brick and graded concrete (a Roman invention).
Yes, all that concrete in the dome is rather heavy—and it's wearing a lead yarmulke to boot—but don't worry. The stone in the concrete is ultra-light pumice, its gets thinner and lighter as it approaches the top, and the weight—rather than bearing down—is cunningly distributed by brick arches embedded sideways in the walls and channeled into a ring of tension around the lip of that oculus that actually helps support the whole thing.
It remained the largest dome in the world until Brunelleschi built the Duomo in Florence 1,200 years later. Michelangelo had a bit more reverential respect for the structure, and he purposefully designed his dome in St. Peter's to be one meter smaller.
The Pantheon has survived the ages partly because it was left alone by the barbarians, who normally looted and burned Roman temples on their frequent maurading and sacking binges throughout the Dark Ages, but found the Pantheon just too darn pretty to destroy.
But there's another reason it survived, virtually intact, the later destruction of almost all pagan temples by the often overly-zealous medeival Church, the languishing years of a backwater Rome without the papacy (but when everybody had plenty of fresh fish and chickens), later Baroque fits of interior refurbishing, and even the Fascist years when Mussolini aggrandized anything could he could lay his hands on to try and connect himself with the glory of ancient Rome.
The early Christian Church decided to add one more god into the temple's pantheonic mix.
In 609, the Byzantine Emperor Phocas gave the pagan temple to Pope Boniface IV, who slapped a Catholic altar in it and christened it Santa Maria ad Martyres, which is to say St. Mary and all the martyrs. Martyrs, you may have noticed, have a tendency to become saints, and as the new (or rather, recycled) church's dedication took place on November 1, this became known as All Saints Day. From all the gods to all the saints—the consecration of the Pantheon as a Christian church really just changed the semantics, not the meaning.
Not all Christians, however, were that charitable to the venerable old structure.
The roof originally shined with gilded bronze, but Byzantine Emperor Constans II decided these tiles would serve the Empire better me lted down for his treasury. In the 8th Century, Pope Gregory III relined roof with lead plates, but it wasn't quite the same effect. I don't know why he was too cheap to spring for the bronze.
But the one insult Italians will never forget or forgive was when the 18th century Barberini Pope Urban VIII removed the bronze revetments from the portico's ceiling and melted them down to make Bernini's baldacchino in St. Peter's and (even worse) some canons for his private fortress, Castel Sant'Angelo. The nearby Pasquino statue—a kind of anonymous, pithy political commentator to which Renaissance Romans would attach plaques bearing their witty epithets and quips against the government—was quick to comment: "Quod non fecerunt Barberi, fecerunt Barberini," ("What even the barbarians wouldn't do, Barberini did.")
Urban VIII, perhaps acting on some bad conciliatory advice from his political spin doctors, then had Bernini add two squat turrets to either side of the pediment, eyesores which Pasquino quickly dubbed "Bernini's ass's ears." They stand as quite possibly the only widely reviled work Bernini ever produced, and were thankfully cropped off in 1883.
In a centuries-long example of recycling, some of those very same bronze canons from Castel Sant'Angelo were melted down yet again to make ornaments for the tomb of Italy's first king, Vittorio Emmanuele II—which is, of course, inside the Pantheon. It was poetic justice. Very pointedly political and intentional, but justice just the same.
Head to the right as you enter to admire briefly those much-maligned bronze of the ornaments on Vittorio Emmanuele II's tomb. He was the first king of the unified Italy, to whom the horrendously ugly pile of white marble squatting in Piazza Venezia is dedicated. He died in 1878, just nine years after finally having conquered Rome and completing his new kingdom.
His son, King Umberto I—a staunch conservative with an impressivly bushy moustache who was assasinated by anarchists in 1900—is entombed on the opposite side of the church. Under Umberto is a third royal tomb, that of Umberto's wife Queen Margherita of Savoy, who may be indirectly responsible for the invention of what we now call "plain pizza."
But perhaps the most important tomb for those not into 19th-century royal families lies in a niche between the second and third chapels on the left. The earthly remains of Rafaello Sanzio d'Urbino lie in that smallish yellow stone box, know to the world as Raphael, one of the Renaissance's greatest artists.
When Raphael died at the young age of 37, the entire city joined in his funeral procession through the streets, carrying with them the enormous and vibrant unfinished work they found in his studio, the Transfiguration (it now hangs in the Vatican Museums Pinacoteca).
When they lay him to rest in this church, they hung this devotional piece above his tomb for all of Rome to come admire as they paid their respects to one of their great artistic masters. The inscription on Raphael's tomb, by Roman poet Pietro Bembo, is in Latin, so it doesn't translate well literally, but the spirit of it is:
"Here lies Raphael, by whom, while he lived, Nature feared she
would be outdone and, as he died, feared she herself would die."
Listen to the history of the stone elephant made by Bernini, before entering in Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the church, where the popes of the Florentine Medici family were buried and observe the masterpieces of painting and sculpture of the best Renaissance artists.
Then visit the Pantheon, a Roman temple that is among the best preserved of the citys ancient Roman buildings and marvel at its oculus in the stunning dome.
Meet your guide in Piazza della Minerva, down the stone elephant and discover the meaning of this statue. Listen to the history of the builings sorrounding the square and then explore the Basilica of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, the church where the popes of the Florentine Medici family were buried. Admire the church interior, covered in artworks by Michelangelo, Bernini and other famous artists.
Get a detailed history of the Pantheon from your guide, who will point out ground-breaking features, such as the coffered concrete dome. Take a look at the oculus in the center of the dome, allowing natural light to illuminate the building while lightening the structural load. Initially a temple, the Pantheon is now one of the most spectacular churches in Rome and acts as the mausoleum to the tombs of Raphael, King Victor Emmanuel II and Queen Margherita among others.
The tour will include the ancient Roman Forum as well as the main sites of the Eternal City; the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and more. If desired, your private guide will be able to shape the itinerary to best suit your group.

Make your way to the Pantheon to explore the best-preserved monument of Ancient Rome on a guided tour of the former pagan temple. The 1-hour itinerary will narrate the history but above all the curiosities and lesser-known facts of the Basilica of Saint Maria ad Martyres, the Pantheon.
This monument has represented the greatest expression of the glory of Rome for more than two thousand years. In 608, Pope Boniface IV had the remains of many martyrs removed from the Christian catacombs and placed in the Pantheon. Thereafter the temple was officially converted to Christianity and named Saint Maria ad Martyres. The Pantheon was an inspiration to Raphael, one of the greatest architects of the Renaissance, and he requested it be his place of eternal rest. Unravel the mysteries of the structure, admire its extraordinary features, such as the dome with its oculus that both lets in sunlight and acts as a cooling and ventilation method.

This two hour tour, led by a local expert, is designed to provide a perfect introduction to Rome for first timers, or to reorient returning travelers to the Italian capital. Over the course of the walk, we’ll get a broad but comprehensive look at the city’s many layers of history and cultures. We'll develop a working vocabulary of the city and its various neighborhoods, learning to decode the archaeological ruins from various eras, and parsing out the different characters of sections of the city. We’ll begin our introduction to Rome in the elegant and stately Piazza del Popolo, leisurely snaking through the neighborhood known commonly as Tridente, or “Trident”. As we stroll through one of the most elegant areas of Rome, we'll sift through the remains of imperial tombs and obelisks, medieval churches and their legends, Renaissance palaces and princes, and modern efforts at urban development and renewal, before winding up at the Spanish Steps. Here, we'll discuss the history of this Roman icon, from its origins—ironically as much French as Spanish—to its present-day popularity. Next we’ll make our way over to the legendary Trevi Fountain, where we'll discuss the importance of water to the city, the competition that birthed its design, and the dramatic scene portrayed by its sculptures. Finally, working our way further south through central Rome's circuitous, scenic streets, we'll wrap up our walk at one of the city's most dramatic, commanding sites—the Pantheon. This is just an introduction to Rome, and so it does not go in-depth into architecture, art, or history. We will spend a certain amount of time explaining the sites along the route, but will also try to situate you in the city, orient you to its major areas, and answer any of your questions.
Rome is an archaeological maze that can take months to unpick. Sometimes, time is not our best friend. We’ve carefully designed an itinerary that offers an in-depth peak into this majestic Italian city, in one day only, with a spotlight on the Colosseum. In the morning, we will tour the Colosseum with an archaeologist or expert guide before making our way to the Centro Storico (historic center), to view sites such as the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps as well as other lesser-known sites. This is a fitting itinerary for anyone with a desire to delve into history and archaeology of this immense city and visit some notable sites in the historical center. It’s for travelers with limited time yet unlimited curiosity, keen to see Rome with a knowledgeable expert. Rome In A Day Tour with Colosseum Access Full-day private tour of Rome Expert local guide or scholar Visit the Colosseum with skip-the-line tickets See the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps (For those wishing to see the Vatican instead, please take a look at our 'Rome in a Day, the Vatican' tour.) The Colosseum and Beyond For the history and archaeology buff, eager to explore the home of the Roman gladiator and view ancient Roman ruins firsthand. Includes skip-the-line tickets to the Colosseum, as well as an exploration of the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Also includes a historic city center tour of sites such as the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the Pantheon. Local lunch (at own expense). Our tour begins near the Colosseum with an introduction to how our day will unfold and what awaits us at this formidable structure. We’ll skip the line as we head inside to discuss topics ranging from Roman public decadence, ancient Roman engineering, and Gladiatorial fights, and all the pomp, circumstance, (and wild beasts) that went with them. Leaving this commanding amphitheater behind, we may head in the direction of the Palatine Hill to explore the legend of Rome’s founding in 753 B.C. by Romulus. We’ll imagine the remains of imperial palaces that once covered the hill, using our experts’ descriptions to help us mentally recreate the splendor of these dwellings. From here, we will descend to the Roman Forum, strolling past the major sites that crowded ancient Rome, such as the Senate House (the Curia) and the basilicas, temples, and triumphal arches around the Forum Square. From the Colosseum to Rome's Historical Core We’ll stop for a local lunch and a (brief) rest from the ruins of Rome. Our expert may give us some tips on how to spend our remaining time in Rome or share their thoughts on anything from gastronomy to education or taxation. Refuelled after lunch, we will head to the historic center of the city, referred to as the ‘Centro Storico’. We will take in a number of sites during our afternoon together, all of which offer a fantastic introduction to the history, architecture, and traditions associated with Rome. Sites will include the poetic Piazza del Campidoglio, the awe-inspiring dome of the Pantheon, and the legendary Trevi Fountain.

With the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE, Rome entered a period of political upheaval settled only when Caesar's nephew Octavian defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra, took control of the Empire, and claimed the title of Caesar Augustus. In this three-hour Ancient Rome tour, we will look closely at this period and how, under the influence of the first emperors, Rome rapidly developed into one of the greatest capitals of the ancient world. Along the way we will weave a narrative of power and legacy as we visit some of the most important monuments of ancient Rome, including the Pantheon, the Theater of Marcellus, and Largo Argentina. Ancient Rome Tour Our tour begins at the Theater of Marcellus, originally conceived by Julius Caesar as a statement of prestige in his war of status with Pompey, but built by his nephew Augustus after his death. As one of the largest Roman theaters still standing and an amazing testament to Rome's ability to adapt and reuse its buildings throughout history, we'll use this monument as a jumping off point to lay the groundwork of our time together. Depending on our docent, who may be an archaeologist, classicist, architect, or other specialist, our discussion may take any number of paths. However, some central themes will emerge regardless: the story of the Caesars and their political adventures at the turn of the millennium, the intersection of art and power, the development of Rome as the center of an empire, and the role of city-making in history. In the Footsteps of Augustus Our path will follow, roughly, a kind of monumental way envisioned by Augustus when remaking the old Field of Mars into a new center for the city. We'll pass many of the structures that played a key role in this, including the Pantheon, regarded during the Renaissance as the most perfect building in the world. We'll also pass the site where Julius Caesar was murdered on the Ides of March. Although Julius and Augustus Caesar will occupy much of our time, we'll also look at many other emperors and their impact on the city as they contributed to the Imperial remaking of Rome. We'll look at how architecture was employed for political ends during the Imperial Period and how one can read that history today in the standing ruins embedded in the historical fabric. Our walk will end in the vicinity of the Ara Pacis, a museum housing the great altar of peace commissioned by Augustus to signal the Pax Romana, or period of relatively uninterrupted peace ushered in by Augustus and lasting over a hundred years. In the shadow of Augustus' own mausoleum we'll discuss the legacy of the Caesars, both real and imagined, and how successive rulers down to the Fascists of the 20th century drew on the narrative of Julius and Augustus Caesar to validate their own rule. We'll emerge with a new sense of Rome and her relevancy to issues today.
Numbers are limited to 25 people on this Super Saver tour, ensuring you'll see the best of Rome in a small-group atmosphere. Even better, enjoy up to 10% discount, depending on the option chosen, when you buy these combined tours.

With plenty of free time for independent exploration, and the freedom to discover Italy's history and culture at your own pace, there's no better way to see this wonderful pocket of Europe.
DAY1: Venice / Welcome to Venice. This watery wonderland of bridges, towers, piazzas, canals, churches and gondolas, practically unchanged for 600 years. If you arrive early why not take a walk around the maze of streets. After tonight's 6pm group meeting perhaps enjoy dinner with your fellow travel companions at a local restaurant.
DAY2: Venice / Today venture out and explore Venice. There are only two ways to get around this city on foot or by boat. Some of the more popular sights include Doge's Palace, the Piazza and Basilica di San Marco and the Bridge of Sighs. Simply enjoy getting lost crossing the hundreds of bridges and uncovering your own slice of Venice. Venice is famous for its specialities of fresh lobster and squid ink spaghetti dishes
DAY3:La Spezia / This morning spend the day travelling by train to the once important naval base of La Spezia, now the gateway to the gorgeous Cinque Terre, or Five lands in English. The journey usually takes between five and seven hours, either via Milan or via Florence, and is a very scenic trip through the north of Italy.
DAY4: Cinque Terre / Today it is highly recommended to venture out on the footpaths of Cinque Terre, a region of Italy famed for its coastline and pastel villages. The footpaths that run between the villages were once the only way to travel in the region, and take you through olive groves, vineyards and on to idyllic vistas. You can choose to walk just a few sections, which will still unveil a great amount of majestic scenery. It's also possible to take the train back to the group's base in La Spezia whenever you want.
DAY5: Florence / Today and catch a train to Florence. This is one of the most culturally rich and beautiful cities in Italy. The Medicis, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Brunelleschi, Machiavelli, Donatello and Michelangelo all lived in Florence at the height of their creative reign. Perhaps explore some of the culinary delicacies on offer from across Tuscany.
DAY6: Florence / Be captivated by the culture-rich atmosphere of Florence, from family-run vineyards on the outskirts of the city to the Duomos magnificent marble facade. Maybe start with a visit the Galleria dell'Accademia where you can see Michelangelo's famous statue of David.
DAY7: Rome / In the morning take the train to Rome. Join your leader on an orientation walk around the city, where you see some of the iconic sights such as the Colosseum, the Forum, the Pantheon, Spanish Steps and Piazza Venezia.

Tips
I guess you can walk in and see the Pantheon in 5–10 minutes, but most people like to spend about half an hour inside, staring up at the ceiling, just soaking it in. It really is quite magnificent.
Whenever it starts raining and I'm in central Rome, I start running—not for shelter, but for the Pantheon.
There you can watch the raindrops floating down from the gaping oculus in the Pantheon's dome, splattering against the worn marble flooring, and slipping through the drain on the floor.
On the rare occasions when it snows, the effect is downright mystical.
