The Pantheon is a temple with a simple and clear structure, topped with a massive dome and a central circular opening for natural light. 🌈 Sunlight pours in from the top, giving a sense of sacred solemnity, while on rainy days, raindrops fall through the oculus, and the well-designed drainage system quickly removes the water from the floor.
The entire Pantheon is made of poured concrete, and it is still a marvel that people of that time were able to create such a massive dome using concrete.
🌟 The Pantheon is a masterpiece of ancient Roman architectural art and has had a significant influence on the development of Western architectural history. Many architects during the Renaissance period visited the Pantheon for inspiration. The design of a circular hall with a colonnade has been applied to numerous civic halls, universities, libraries, and various other public buildings.
