The construction of the 2nd century BC, the "temple of all gods" in Greek. The Pantheon was created during the period of the highest flowering of ancient Roman architecture. For many centuries under the dome of the building worshiped the pagan gods, until the early VII century the Pantheon was converted into a Christian temple. The building is in good condition today thanks to numerous renovations that began before the onset of our era.

We were told an hour and a half (tops), but spent nearly three, but we asked to be admitted to the Chapel area, to pray. [You must ask one of the uniformed guards to let you beyond the ropes.] So maybe two & a half hours to see it? Very worthwhile two and a half hours in Roma.
