• You have to actually step down to what used to be ground level to enter the Pantheon. It's so well preserved because it was turned into a Christian church. It still as all the knooks and crannies for the old gods but were replaced with saints. - Cajun Metal
  • The wooden truss in the pronaos (portico) was once covered with brass, which was removed in 1625 in order to make Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Baldacchino at St. Peter’s and also the cannons at Castel Sant’Angelo. - GNphotos
