| Pantheon & its Legend |
 Discover the best-preserved monument from Ancient Rome on a tour of the Pantheon. The present building was completed by Emperor Hadrian around 126 AD. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. Once inside the Pantheon, your guide will explain the history of the temple of all gods. Continue to the Palazzo Montecitorio to see the seat of the Italian Chamber of Deputies. See Bernini's addition of a bell gable above the main entrance, and hear about Innocent XII's firm anti-nepotism policies. See the excavated obelisk of the Solarium Augusti, now known as the “Obelisk of Montecitorio,” installed by Pius VI in 1789. Visit the Mausoleum of Augustus, originally located in the northern part of the Campus Martius and end at the Ara Pacis Augustae altar dedicated to the Roman goddess of Pax (Peace). Price: 26.00 |
