The
Pantheon is the only completely intact piece of roman architecture
left in the world. It is magnificent and no trip to rome is complete
without a visit inside where, among other things you can find
the remains of the famous renaissance artists Donatello and Raphael...
The pantheon is held up by 75 feet tall monolithic Egyptian marble
pillars each weighing 90 tonnes! Inside the pantheon you should
look up and admire the "oculus" i.e. a hole in the roof
9 metres wide and a symbolic link between the roman worshippers
and their gods. Curiously the pantheon's height is exactly the
same as the radius of its' dome... consequently inside it could
host a perfect circle or better still would be the perfect place
for a fisheye photo... see info@romehotels.info for more info.
