The Pantheon is an ancient temple in Rome, Italy, originally built under emperor Augustus and reconstructed under Hadrian (117–138); since AD 609, it is a Catholic church called the Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs. It is perhaps the most famous, and architecturally most influential, rotunda.

Guides about Rome
Six day trips from Rome with 2026 prices and train times, plus the free Sunday that fills every site and the Tivoli villa that opens at 2pm on Mondays.

Under four days it is Florence, over four it is Rome, and the ticket prices explain why. Six rounds, the Uffizi discount nobody uses, and the tax.
