The Pantheon is one of the most important architectural monuments remained of the entire ancient age: on its model had been built the renown Pantheon in Paris and other important neoclassical buildings, as example the Basilica of St.Francis from Paola at Plebiscite Piazza in Naples.

It has a circular plan, which has all around the lateral chapels, and upon it rises a monolithic emispherical dome, decorated on inner side by coffers drawn in the stone.

Before entrance there is a classical porch with 13 (on 16) ancient monolithic columns in marble. The portal has on both sides the original stones. It was initially built by Agrippa in 27 b.C. and rebuilt by emperor Hadrian in the II century. Devasted during the Barbarian Invasions, the Pantheon was settled as Christian church in the VII century, so it was saved from destruction.

Inside the chapels around the central body are buried the Kings of Italy and the painter Raffaello Sanzio, the greatest artist of Italian Renaissance togheter with Michelangelo.

In the piazza in front of the Pantheon there is the fountain sculpted by Giambattista della Porta in 1578, upon which had been placed an original Egyptyan obelisk coming from the Temple of Isis.

In the neighboourhood around the Pantheon there are: the Church of Magdalene, in rococo style; the Church of Saint Mary upon Minerva, with the Carafa Chapel frescoed by Filippino Lippi; the Doria Pamphili Gallery, inside the palace with the same name, with important paintngs by Annibale Carracci, Velasquez, Caravaggio, Hans Memling.
