7The Pantheon
An architectural marvel that has withstood the test of time, the Pantheon is a Roman temple turned church. Its perfectly preserved dome, an engineering feat of ancient Rome, allows sunlight to stream through an oculus at its center, creating a celestial effect. The Pantheon’s grandeur, coupled with its historical significance as the burial place of Italian kings and Raphael, makes it a must-visit destination for those seeking a blend of architectural excellence and cultural richness.
