PANTHEON |
The
Pantheon is the only completely intact piece of roman
architecture left in the world. It is magnificent
and no trip to rome is complete without a visit inside
where, among other things you can find the remains
of the famous renaissance artists Donatello and Raphael...
The pantheon is held up by 75 feet tall monolithic
Egyptian marble pillars each weighing 90 tonnes! Inside
the pantheon you should look up and admire the "oculus"
i.e. a hole in the roof 9 metres wide and a symbolic
link between the roman worshippers and their gods.
Curiously the pantheon's height is exactly the same
as the radius of its' dome... consequently inside
it could host a perfect circle or better still would
be the perfect place for a fisheye photo... see David@fisheyes.co.uk
for more info.
