Ancient Rome Colosseum Tour

ADD ON Private Guided Visit of the Pantheon, the Most Well-Preserved and Influential Buildings of the Ancient Roman Period
Get a glimpse into the marvelous and stunning world of Roman architecture. The Pantheon is simply a breathtaking piece of architecture which is a must when visiting Rome. Built more than 1800 years ago, the Pantheon once was an awe-inspiring pagan temple dedicated to all the planetary gods. Since antiquity, the Pantheon inspires engineers and artists. With its thick brick walls and large marble columns still manages to inspire wonder in those who visit, but the most striking feature is without a doubt the impressive architecture of the dome. This is one of the grandest cupolas ever built and at its center is the oculus an impressive hole measuring 9 meters in diameter that allows light to filter into the space creating beautiful patterns and plays with light and shadow. When it rains the water falls into the Pantheon but runs off through several small holes in the ground.
Please Note: When entering the Pantheon always ensure that you dress appropriately, no shorts or sleeveless dresses. By not being properly attired you run in the risk of being denied entry.
