Mediterranean Journey – 2011

Turn a corner, and there it is! Probably one of the oldest buildings in the world that is still in use, and still in good repair. The Pantheon, built in 126 AD to honour all gods, was converted into a church by the Christians. Its greatest feature is its enormous concrete dome. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unsupported concrete dome.
