Roman holiday
... gods. The un-reinforced concrete dome is the largest in the world and has been constructed with an 8.7m diameter hole in the centre of the roof - providing the connection to the gods. The front of the Pantheon faces onto Piazza della Rotonda and each of the 16 columns is 13m tall and constructed from Egyptian granite. It's a rather impressive sight.
