Outside is grim and almost foreboding and gray, but considering it's been there about two thousand years, it is very remarkable. Ah, once inside on a clear sunny day it is magnificent. The only source of light is that big round hole (oculus) in the top of the dome and if you stand directly under it and look down at... More

we were there in the rain and don't believe anyone who says it stays dry inside despite the hole in the top. It was beautiful.

Take the time.......this building is +2000 yrs old and wonderful!!!! Just the dome alone seems to amazing. Rafael is buried here, as are former Kings of Italy. No fee - get here early or late in the day. Check out the drains in the beautiful floor to let rain escape that comes through the oculus in the ceiling.

The dome really mesmerized me as the Pantheon is close to 2,000 years old. It is wonderfully preserved and should be on top of your list when you visit Rome.

A much hyped destination, the basilica is rarely opened for the public. Built on a Greek design, the Pantheon has the largest dome in Italy. A passing by visit is sufficient.

From the outside there is nothing crazy about it, very lovely inside however. I suggest that you research the history of this Roman building to appreciate it. Have a seat if you can, take a moment and admire the greatness. Easy walk from Piazza Navona.

The rooms are a little small but the overall location and atmosphere more than makes up for it. Staff are all very nice, friendly and helpful. Will return without any doubt. Frank & Loretta
