Pantheon Roma : Architettura

Roman Building Photographs, Italy



The Pantheon
118-128AD

Roman temple built by Marcus Agrippa

Rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 126 AD

Circular building with Corinthian portico

Key feature: oculus - the circular hole in the middle of the coffered, concrete dome - that allows a mesmerising disk of light to rotate around the inner dome (when the sun shines of course)



Location: centre of the city, on west side of Via del Corso

The Pantheon dome is the world's largest un-reinforced concrete dome



The height from the floor to the oculus and the diameter of the circular interior are the same: 43.3 metres or 142 ft.
