Rome. Italy. View of the interior and the Tomb of King Umberto I of the Pantheon. Founded as a temple to all gods by Marcus Agrippa, son in law of Augustus in 17BC, the Pantheon was destroyed by fire in AD 80 and then was completely redesigned and rebuilt around 125 by Emperor Hadrian, however he (Hadrian) generously choose to keep the original inscription. An architectural masterpiece and one of the best preserved monuments of antiquity, it was converted into a Christian church in 609 which ensured its preservation even after damaging earthquakes and floods.
