perfection!

[jl132, 07/09/2011] What is Rome still a beautiful city! For seven days I was in Rome. The whole town is really just as a big museum. While walking in the center of Rome you just see so much. While walking through the streets you suddenly see the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and the Pantheon. Accessibility The Pantheon is located in the center of Rome. A walk of about five minutes you're at the Trevi Fountain and with ten minutes you can also look at the Spanish Steps. Near the temple is no subway station. What is the Pantheon? The word 'Pantheon' and 'dome' will often come together in a sentence. Rightly so [more]

very good

[yankin, 30/10/2009] The Pantheon is one of the ancient structures, which impressed me with its volume and majesty from the first sight. Pantheon (originally a temple to all the gods) has no analogies in ancient Roman architecture, neither on a composition, nor under the constructive decision. Its simplicity impresses each and everyone. Unique, that ancient architects could build such a temple. By structure this magnificent building is a circular temple, which is blocked by a spherical bowl of the dome with a diameter of almost 43 meters. Thickness of walls — 6 m. There are no windows in the building and only fr [more]

The Pantheon is described as being "a marvel of architectural harmony and proportion, is the best-preserved monument of imperial Rome." This attraction was "entirely rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian around AD 120." Speaking about the architecture of The Pantheon we are informed that the most striking thing about it is "the remarkable unity of the building." In the authors opinion it is "the use of such simple mathematical balance that gives classical architecture its characteristic sense of proportion and its nobility and timeless appeal." The condition of the building it is noted the Pant [more]

perfection!

The author states that of "all ancient Rome's great buildings, only the Pantheon (All the Gods) remains intact" and that it "was built in 27 B.C" and "reconstructed by Hadrian in the early 2nd century A.D". The author states that this building is "among the architectural wonders of the world because of its dome and its concept of space" and that the building was "unique for the time". The author concludes by giving some statistics of the building and stating that "125 years ago, Raphael's tomb was discovered here " and "Vittorio Emanuele II, king of Italy, and his successor, Umberto" are [more]

The author relates their experiences during a recent visit to Rome and points out that the Pantheon is viewed as "a symbol of Rome" only after such other attractions as "the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, St Peters Basilica and the Trevi Fountain". Having visited the Trevi fountain, they took "one of the three roads leading away from the Trevi Fountain, south west towards the Pantheon". The author states that the skill which went into building it is born out by the fact that it "has stood for close on two millennia" despite featuring the "largest" dome worldwide, a feat which couldn't be acco [more]
