Pantheon, building in Rome that was begun in 27 bc by the statesman Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, probably as a building of the ordinary Classical temple type-rectangular with a gabled roof supported by a colonnade on all sides. It was completely rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian sometime between ad 118 and 128, and some alterations were made in the early 3rd century by the emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. It is a circular building of concrete faced with brick, with a great concrete dome rising from the walls and with a front porch of Corinthian columns supporting a gabled roof with triangular pediment. Beneath the porch are huge bronze double doors, 24 feet (7 metres) high, the earliest known large examples of this type.

The Pantheon is remarkable for its size, its construction, and its design. Until modern times, the dome was the largest built, measuring about 142 feet (43 metres) in diameter and rising to a height of 71 feet (22 metres) above its base. There is no external evidence of brick arch support inside the dome, except in the lowest part, and the exact method of construction has never been determined. Two factors, however, are known to have contributed to its success: the excellent quality of the mortar used in the concrete and the careful selection and grading of the aggregate material, which ranges from heavy basalt in the foundations of the building and the lower part of the walls, through brick and tufa (a stone formed from volcanic dust), to the lightest of pumice toward the centre of the vault. In addition, the uppermost third of the drum of the walls, seen from the outside, coincides with the lower part of the dome, seen from the inside, and helps contain the thrust with internal brick arches. The drum itself is strengthened by huge brick arches and piers set above one another inside the walls, which are 20 feet (6 metres) thick.

The porch is conventional in design, but the body of the building, an immense circular space lit solely by the light that floods through the 27-foot (8-metre) "eye," or oculus, opening at the centre of the dome, was revolutionary; possibly this was the first of several great buildings of antiquity that were designed to favour the interior rather than the exterior. In contrast to the plain appearance of the outside, the interior of the building is lined with coloured marble, and the walls are marked by seven deep recesses, screened by pairs of columns whose modest size gives scale to the immensity of the rotunda. Rectangular coffers, or indentations, were cut in the ceiling, probably under Severus, and decorated with bronze rosettes and molding.

The Pantheon was dedicated in ad 609 as the Church of Santa Maria Rotonda, or Santa Maria ad Martyres, which it remains today. The bronze rosettes and moldings of the ceiling and other bronze embellishments have disappeared over time, and a frieze of stucco decoration was applied to the interior directly beneath the dome in the late Renaissance. Otherwise, the building exists entirely in its original form. The structure has been an enduring source of inspiration to architects since the Renaissance.

You'll hear it again and again: There is no such thing as Italian food. Cuisine across Italy is so regional, in fact, that you'll see entirely different piatti (plates) from one city to the next - a variety that makes traveling and dining even more of a pleasure. Eating an area's specialties not only connects you to the culture, it also helps ensure that you're eating fresher and more local, too.

Rome, of course, is no different. Want to know what to order while in the capital city? Here are some of its most beloved dishes - and, just as importantly, where to find our favorite versions.

Roman artichokes are world-famous; in fact, they've even been given protected-origin status (PGI, or Protected Geographical Indication) by the European Union. While you can find them steamed, stewed or thrown onto a pizza, one of their most satisfying treatments originated in Rome's Jewish Ghetto, where they come fried to a lighter-than-air crisp. Today, you can find "Jewish-style artichokes" across Rome - but some restaurants make them far better than others.

Just remember that, like other types of produce, these are seasonal. Outside of the months from February to May, the "Roman artichokes" you see on menus either have been frozen for months or are imports from elsewhere. So at that time of year, it's best - not least of all for your taste buds - to let the artichokes be. Order another seasonal delicacy instead, such as puntarelle from November to February or fiori di zucca (zucchini flowers) from June to September.

In season, try carciofi alla giudia at Nonna Betta, a Jewish Ghetto institution considered to serve up one of the best versions of the dish in all of Rome.

This pasta dish couldn't be simpler: pecorino Romano cheese and fresh black pepper are swirled with cooking water from the pasta to make it creamy (and then, obviously, swirled with the pasta - cooked al dente, of course - itself). But the fewer ingredients and steps to a dish, the more important it is that they're all perfect, right? And no place does it more perfectly than Rome, where the dish originated.

Try cacio e pepe at (big surprise!) Cacio e Pepe, which has managed to remain a surprisingly hidden gem, given its easy location in Prati and its local reputation for solid Roman classics.

Another classic Roman pasta, this takes the pecorino Romano and fresh black pepper of the cacio e pepe but adds in guanciale (smoked pork jowl) and egg. Nothing else is added, especially not cream or peas, which means the dish is a fresher, lighter version of the comfort food you might know from back home.

Try carbonara at Da Danilo, a tiny trattoria in Esquilino that has received several awards for its classic, slightly upmarket Roman cuisine. Its version comes with the smokiest, crispiest chunk of guanciale you've ever tasted.

This is Rome's classic "red sauce," made from San Marzano tomatoes, guanciale, white wine and pecorino Romano. (Some spots add onion, too.) It's the perfect stick-to-your-ribs dish, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't one I dig into year-round.

Order it at Cesare al Casaletto. The trattoria does every Roman classic so well, amatriciana included, that it's a magnet for locals and visiting foodies alike - despite its off-the-beaten-path location (it's at the last stop on the No. 8 tram).

Culinary traditions stemming from cucina povera, or "peasant cuisine," can be found across Italy. In Rome, thanks in large part to the slaughterhouses that were in operation here, cucina povera often hinges on the use of offal - the parts of an animal that normally would have been thrown out. Daring diners might want to try trippa alla Romana (Roman-style tripe) or pajata (the intestines of an unweaned calf). But those looking to dip just a toe in first should order coda alla vaccinara, which is oxtail, slow-cooked until the tender meat is falling right off the bone. You can find it served either as a secondo (second, or meat, course), in a thick tomato stew, or on top of pasta as a primo (pasta or soup course).

Try it at Flavio al Velavevodetto, a popular trattoria serving up traditional Roman cuisine in the most appropriate neighborhood: Testaccio, home to Rome's slaughterhouses (and the heart of the city's traditions of eating offal).

Wrap tender veal in prosciutto and sage, marinate it in white wine and fry it up. No wonder the name "saltimbocca" means "jump in your mouth" in Roman dialect. In general, Roman restaurants do their antipasti and primi better than their secondi - but this is one meat dish to be sure to try.

We like the saltimbocca at Armando al Pantheon, which has been serving up Roman classics around the corner from the Pantheon since 1961.

Introduction

The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved monuments of ancient Rome. The structure, completed around 126-128 A.D. during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, features a rotunda with a massive domed ceiling that was the largest of its kind when it was built. The Pantheon is situated on the site of an earlier structure of the same name, built around 25 B.C. by statesman Marcus Agrippa, and is thought to have been designed as a temple for Roman gods.

ORIGINS

The present-day Pantheon is located on the site of an earlier structure of the same name, constructed around 25 B.C. by statesman Marcus Agrippa, son-in-law of the first Roman emperor, Augustus.

Traditionally thought to have been designed as a temple for Roman gods, the structure's name is derived from the Greek words pan, meaning "all," and theos, meaning "gods."

The original Pantheon was destroyed in a fire around 80 A.D. It was rebuilt by Emperor Domitian, only to be burned down again in 110 A.D.

Hadrian became emperor in 117, a time when the Roman Empire included much of present-day Europe, as well as parts of the Middle East and northern Africa. Passionate about art and architecture, he embarked on a building campaign during his reign, which lasted until his death in 138.

Among these building projects was a defensive fortification, now referred to as Hadrian's Wall, marking the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire. The wall measures 73 miles in length and stretches from coast to coast across modern-day northern England.

It's unknown who the existing Pantheon's architect was or exactly what role Hadrian played in the project. Evidence suggests the Pantheon was dedicated around 126-128 A.D., although construction might have started under Hadrian's predecessor, Trajan, who served as emperor from 98 to 117.

It's uncertain why, but Hadrian put Agrippa's original inscription on the new Pantheon-"Marcus Agrippa the son of Lucius, three times consul, made this"-which led to centuries of years of confusion about its origins.

No one knows the original purpose of the present-day Pantheon, but Hadrian sometimes held court there.

FROM PAGAN TEMPLE TO CHRISTIAN CHURCH

In 330, the capital of the Roman Empire was transferred from Rome to Byzantium (modern-day Istanbul, Turkey) by Emperor Constantine.

Afterward, the Pantheon fell into a long period of disrepair. In 476, the German warrior Odoacer conquered the western half of the Roman Empire, where Rome was situated.

The Pantheon's long decline continued. Then, in 609, Pope Boniface IV got permission from Byzantine emperor Phocas to convert the Pantheon into a Christian church, known as in Latin as Sancta Maria ad Martyres (St. Mary and the Martyrs).

It was the first Roman pagan temple to be consecrated as a Christian church. The conversion played a key role in the Pantheon's survival, as the papacy had the resources to repair and maintain it.

PANTHEON DOME

Made primarily from bricks and concrete, the Pantheon consists of three sections: a portico with granite columns, a massive domed rotunda and a rectangular area connecting the other two sections.

Measuring 142 feet in diameter, the domed ceiling was the largest of its kind when it was built. At to the top of the dome sits an opening, or oculus, 27 feet in width. The oculus, which has no covering, lets light-as well as rain and other weather-into the Pantheon.

The walls and floor of the rotunda are decorated with marble and gilt and the domed ceiling contains five rings of 28 rectangular coffers.

When the artist Michelangelo saw the Pantheon, centuries after its construction, he reportedly said it was the design of angels, not of man. The Pantheon proved an important influence for the great Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, as well as countless architects who followed, in Europe and beyond.

Thomas Jefferson modeled both Monticello-his home near Charlottesville, Virginia-as well as the Rotunda building at the University of Virginia, after the Pantheon. The U.S. Capitol rotunda was inspired by the Pantheon, as were various American state capitols.

THE PANTHEON TODAY

Following the Pantheon's conversion into a Christian church, it eventually became the burial place for Renaissance figures including painter Raphael, composer Arcangelo Corelli and architect Baldassare Peruzzi.

Several monarchs are buried there too, including Vittorio Emanuele II, who died in 1878 and was the first king of Italy since the 6 th century; his son, Umberto I, who was assassinated in 1900, and Umberto's wife, Queen Margherita, who passed away in 1926.

Today, the Pantheon is a major tourist destination for visitors from around the world, while continuing to function as a church. Catholic mass is regularly held there.
