City: Rome
Description:
Originally built in 27 BCE, by Emperor Hadrian (AD 125-128), is a marvel of ancient architecture. The ancient temple is celebrated for its large dome, was as a temple to all the gods of the Roman state religion, but has served as a Christian church since the 7th century. It is the only building from the Graeco-Roman world which has remained substantially intact and in continuous use throughout to the present day. The dome is now the third largest masonry dome in the world - the first is St. Peter's and second is Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
