Itinerary

1. 1

   Pantheon

   Observe the perfect geometry of the dome, with a diameter of 43.44 meters, just like the height of the Pantheon, which could accommodate a perfect sphere inside. Observe its oculus, allowing the trajectory of the sun to illuminate the interior and traverse the building like a sundial, differently every day of the year. With extraordinary columns carved from a single block of pink granite, brought here from distant Egypt. Discover why he chose this place for his burial, followed by other artists who loved classical architecture, finding in the Pantheon an example of majestic perfection and choosing this Basilica as a place of eternal rest. Queen Margherita of Savoy, who rests with her King, Umberto I, and with the first King of Italy, her father-in-law Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy, in this temple that Stendhal defined as "the most beautiful remnant of Roman antiquity." A temple that has suffered so little and appears to us as the Romans must have seen it in their time.
