One of my favourite ancient buildings in all of Rome is the Pantheon !

The design , architecture and history of this building fascinates me !

Some Interesting Facts About The Pantheon :

• There is a bloody open hole ( dome ) in its roof . When it rains water gets into the building. The floors are slopped so as the water gets in it drains !
• The building is almost 2000 years old ! A well built structure.
• It’s dome is still the largest unreinforced dome in the world . Romans sure knew how to built .
