Itinerary
Located in the heart of Piazza della Rotonda, directly in front of the Pantheon, this elegant Renaissance fountain was originally designed by Giacomo Della Porta in 1575 and later enhanced with an ancient Egyptian obelisk. It is one of Rome's most iconic fountains and a popular gathering place, beautifully complementing the grandeur of the Pantheon.
The Pantheon is an ancient temple, originally built in 27 BCE and later rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 118-125 CE. Renowned for its magnificent dome, which remains the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome, the Pantheon is a masterpiece of Roman engineering and architecture. Its oculus, a central opening at the top of the dome, allows natural light to illuminate the interior. Once a temple dedicated to all Roman gods, it has served as a Christian church since the 7th century. The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved and most influential buildings from ancient Rome, attracting millions of visitors annually.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
