Interesting Fact:
The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy.
Did you know: Unlike many other ancient buildings, the Pantheon has been in continuous use throughout its history.
A lighting effect can be viewed on April 21 when the midday sun strikes a metal grille above the doorway, saturating the courtyard outside with light. The Romans celebrated April 21 as the founding date of the city, and the impressive sight of their Emperor standing at the entrance of the Pantheon surrounded by light coming from inside the pantheon might have been seen as something that, in effect, raised their emperor to the level of the gods and invited him in to join them.
I like that the Cigstar Greek Temple is inspired by the Pantheon Temple.
