Pantheon - Basilica of Santa Maria ad Martyres

Pantheon and Basilica of Santa Maria ad Martyres

Among the ancient classic buildings, the Pantheon is certainly the best preserved one, as a result of its transformation into a Church (Saint Mary and the Martyrs)in 609. The original structure was constructed between 27 and 25 BC by Marcus Vipsanio Agrippa to celebrate Augustus and was then dedicated to the main deities of the Julio-Claudian family. The present building was reconstructed during Emperor Hadrian’s time (118-125 AD). Un enorme muro cilindrico (la Rotonda) di oltre 6 metri di spessore sorregge la monumentale volta, la più grande cupola realizzata in calcestruzzo romano, del diametro di 43,30 metri e pari di height.
