- A real old building that is well preserved and can be visited inside for free. - The square in front of it is tiny but cozy; it’s common to see people eating pizza slices, ice creams or drinking beer seating around the fountain. - Talking about ice creams…you should go for one of the best ice creams I already... more

This was the most beautiful old church we saw in Rome,we had a private rented apartment only a few mins walk from it.But we could never seemto be there when mass was going on. You really should visit the Pantheon in Rome. more

The Pantheon was built 2 millennia ago. This domed temple served as the model for Michelangelo's dome of St. Peter's, the Florence cathedral dome and the dome of Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Building. Entrance is free and is open Mon - Sat 8:30 am - 7:30 pm, Sun 9 am - 6 pm and Holidays 9 am - 1 pm. It... more

This is quite a large building that is still standing and in good shape despite being built in the Roman era. The facade is imposing with the large columns making a glorious facade. The pantheon is quite large but very crowded being one of the most visited places in Rome. The piazza infront has a couple of expensive restaurants and... more

Located in a busy area of city with shops and restaurants, the Pantheon should not be missed by a traveler to Rome. From the outside, it is well preserved. Walking under the portico, look up to see the detail in the stonework. The interior is interesting for the tombs, including Rapheal and Vittorio Emanuele. The Pantheon is the oldest church... more

Amazing!

We arrived around the back of the Pantheon and really, when you walk up the back and see how it dates compared to the rest of the city you are amazed. I downloaded Rick Steve's audio guide and map that I used before I went to learn about the history. His audio guides and maps of Rome were great! I... more

Pantheon may not be the most beautiful building in Rome, but it is amazing considering its age. Whereas the forum is a lovely collection of ruins, here is a building from the time of the Roman empire completely intact and still in use. The only light is provided by the hole in the roof which kids will find fascinating, especially... more

The Pantheon blew me away, we visited it every day we were in Rome. What an amazing architectural feat! it is still a functioning church, which I think sometimes gets forgotten as people were disrespectful. At times it got very busy but this didn't detract from my experience. This was probably one of my favourite places to visit in Rome.... more

Pantheon is certainly a must-see attraction in Rome. I love it a lot because (1) entrance is free (2) architecture is amazing, and (3) you get a different experience each time you visit it. Its columns at the entrance and the sunlight which protrudes from the dome centre certainly do not fail to amaze the casual visitor. Those looking for... more

Sitting in the middle of the city, surrounded not by vast spaces, like the Roman ruins, or acres of piazza, like St. Peter's, you turn a corner onto a small piazza and there it is. The board announcing mass times had me confused at first, since I had missed the fact that this is now a functioning Catholic church. But... more
