Patricia Santini said: The Pantheon of Agripa is a circular temple that was constructed at the beginning of the Roman Empire, dedicated to the Gods in fact, the word "pantheon" means temple of all the Gods. To the entrance, in the porch it is ***reflxed mng: "Agrippa Frame, son of Lucio, consul by third time, () constructed". Agrippa frame was general friend and of Augusto. The building was destroyed several times even by a fire and what we see at the moment it is what Adriano reconstructed and the project is attributed to Apolodoro of Damascus who was assassinated by Adriano (it assumes that by envies to its great work), but most impressive of this building is its ceiling vaulted with a celestial eye or hole of 8.9 meters of diameter that lets enter the light evidently and that also rain falls. When I saw it asks me that apoza in its interior passed with the water that when raining, but the Roman engineering of the so spectacular era that they even did a drainage to him. The pavement of the roundhouse is slightly convex, with the central part 30 cm. higher than the perimeter, so that the rain that between by óculo or hole of duomo flows towards the channel located in all the perimeter, is incredible and very beautiful the system which they occupied to lighten the weight of the ceiling is a separate subject and the truth is that it is used until now, but surprises that they could make great things with technology of that time and this work with no need takes IX to centuries of reforms or reinforcements. In the Renaissance it was used like seat of the Academy of the Virtuosos of Rome, is the tomb of the artist Rafael or Vognola and rest the rest of king Vitorio enmanuel II, his Humberto son and his wife Daisy which is in one of the chapels that there are in his interior. The expenses and conservation of the Pantheon are in charge of the Ministry of Cultural Goods of Italy and in 1980 Patrimony of the Humanity by UNESCO was declared next to the Historical Center of Rome.
