Summary

[edit]
Description

The Pantheon was built in the period 113-125 AD as a Roman temple. The building is circular and still to this day has the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. In the centre of the dome is an Oculus - an opening to the sky. Many do not realise that the Romans used concrete.

The internal diameter of the building and the height to the oculus are exactly the same. The building is now a church and - given it's age - is truly a marvel of engineering.

The building was one of the locations in the book and film "The Da Vinci Code" as well as other films.

The main source of light for my photo was the light from the oculus and I was forced to use a high ISO.
