Description
Photograph taken looking out of the Pantheon while people are looking up at the ceiling. The Pantheon "[temple] of all the gods") is a former Roman temple since AD 609. It is a Catholic church (Basilica Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs) in Rome, Italy. It was built on the site of an earlier temple (27 BC – AD 14), then after that burnt down. The present building was ordered by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated c. AD 126. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple.
