Pantheon
The Pantheon is a building built in the Augustan period and dedicated to all the gods worshiped in the days of ancient Rome. Rebuilt by Emperor Adriano between 118 and 128 AD, is a typical example of classical architecture: the calculation of the geometries and the perfect harmony of its lines make it a building stable and balanced.With the advent of Christianity, the Pantheon was converted into a Christian basilica in the early seventh century by the name of Santa Maria della Rotonda. This conversion has allowed him to remain intact over the centuries and not be affected by looting and damage operated into Rome of the popes against the classical buildings.Today the Pantheon can claim the status of a Minor Basilica, and is a destination visited by millions of tourists every year.
