萬神殿

萬神殿，此次羅馬行最觸動的景點。2000多年前修建的世界最大的無支撐混凝土穹頂。陽光可以從近九米直徑的圓洞—萬神殿之眼進入。萬神殿的建築風格永遠被模仿，從未被複制。殿中靜靜睡着文藝復興巨匠拉斐爾，墓志銘寫着“他活着時，大自然害怕他的作品勝過自己；他過世后，大自然害怕自己的美也將與他一起凋零”。站在穹頂之下，你知道沒有永恆，但你能感受到片刻永恆。

I would like to thank our tour guide Ms. Realda. She was amazing at giving us a tour. She gave us every detail of the Pantheon. She took her time answering questions whenever we asked them. She showed us more things nearby the Pantheon. I’m extremely happy with her hard work and teaching us about the Pantheon. Finding the location of the tour guide is easy just follow the instructions. Very professional and very helpful as well. Yhank you. I’m looking forward to seeing you all again.

Everyone has to visit the Pantheon in their lifetime. I am in shock that something so magnificent could be built in 126 AD and remain is such remarkable condition. The exterior is incredibly imposing with grand columns holding up the structure. The interior consists of a single perfectly symmetrical circular space with an enormous dome. There are beautiful columns, sculptures, and paintings everywhere. It was originally a Pagan temple and symbol of Rome’s power, but became a church that is in use to this day. There is a huge high alter near the front, built in the early 18th century. All the pagan statues and artwork were removed and replaced with ones honoring to Christianity. Everything in this building is perfectly symmetrical with three sets of columns on each side flanked with artwork in the middle. Every bit of architecture from the floor to the ceiling is so intricate. The marble floor is from three different countries. The red is from Egypt, the white is from Asia Minor.

Very unique experience. ** online tickets are paid off, providing a very smooth entrance without queuing. The Pantheon itself is an astonishing place.

可以值得一看，好像天上漏了個洞，好高好大，羅馬人真是牛叉啊。
