  Pantheon

  A pantheon is the temple of all gods. It is a round shaped Roman temple. There are elaborate sculptures of Catholic saints inside of Pantheon. The highlight of the visit is its ceiling as it is impressive to have a dome without a pole. For two thousand years, its dome without a pillar hasn't collapsed at all. Also, the sunlight mysteriously comes into the center of this dome and rain does not enter into of the dome. This is a very scientifically intelligent design. The rain either passes by the hole or spontaneously evaporates because of the pressure difference due to the rising of hot air from the pantheon.
