Pantheon
Rome, ItalyAbout Pantheon
The best-preserved building of ancient Rome — a 125 AD domed temple converted to a church, with a 43-meter concrete dome that remained the world's largest for 1,300 years. The oculus (open hole at the dome's apex) lets in rain, which drains through the ancient floor. Extraordinary.
