The Pantheon (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres)
A marvel of Roman engineering, the Pantheon stands as the best-preserved monument of Ancient Rome. Completed under Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD, it features the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome, crowned by the celestial Oculus. Today, it serves as a Roman Catholic Basilica and the final resting place of Renaissance master Raphael and Italian royalty.
