Super nice!
Great architecture

Absolutely stunning!
amazing architecture! i have always dreamed of visiting Rome!
Another must visit added to my list!
just beautiful

An architectural wonder captured very well by amazing photographers!
beautiful photo, it was packed when I visited, I think I would love to sit in there in the early morning before anyone else arrive, maybe another time.
yes, it is mostly overcrowded …
Good article, lots of superb facts. I want to show my girlftriend and ask them the issues they think.
Walking around in the Pantheon, was a unique feeling; one of the miracles of the world, as old as civilization, as well preserved as if it was buit during our lifetime.
