Castel & Ponte Sant'Angelo

The Castel Sant’Angelo was originally built as the tomb of Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD. This mausoleum was eventually converted into a military fortress that protected Rome during the Middle Ages. Since then, it has served as the Papal Residence, a prison during the Renaissance era and now, as one of Rome’s museums.

The Parthenon

Construction of the Pantheon Rome started in 27 BCE on the order of Marcus Agrippa. It is one of the few buildings from ancient Rome that has stayed completely intact. The current temple and characteristic round dome were not built until the 2nd century, under emperor Hadrian, after Agrippa's building was damaged by a large fire in 80 CE and again in 110 when it was struck by lightning.     It has been in continuous use ever since.

The total dome has a diameter of 44.4 meters and is the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.  
The coffered dome has a central oculus as the main source of natural light.
