Pantheon

ChurchRomeAbout 30 minutes

A Roman temple that has been in continuous use for nearly two thousand years, with the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built and a nine-metre hole open to the sky. Ten minutes inside is enough to be worth the trip, which makes it the easiest thing in Rome to fit into a day. Rain falls through the oculus onto a sloped, drained floor.
