Discover the secrets of one of the most extraordinary monuments of Ancient Rome on this immersive guided tour of the Pantheon. Once a temple to all gods and now a consecrated church, the Pantheon is a perfect fusion of Roman engineering, art, and spirituality.

Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll explore the majestic portico with its towering granite columns, walk beneath the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world, and gaze up through the iconic oculus — a 9-meter-wide opening to the sky.

Inside, you’ll uncover the stories behind the architecture, its mathematical perfection, and the tombs of legendary figures such as Raphael and Victor Emmanuel II. Learn how the Pantheon survived the fall of Rome and how it still influences architecture today.

This tour offers more than facts — it’s a journey through space, time, and meaning. Whether you’re a history lover, an architecture enthusiast, or simply curious, this experience will leave you inspired.
