Worth Seeing

Like some of you might know, you little darlings are sometimes going to see here in our blog these ''Worth Seeing''-parts! In these we're telling you about the places we've been and we love. It can be a normal tourist attraction, lovely cafeteria, stunning gig we've been to or a perfect place to have a picnic, all around the world! It can be anything and we, Feo and I, believe these truly are worth seeing!


Here we go!


Worth Seeing - Pantheon, Rome


 
"In Rome, the Pantheon, so great within and without, has overwhelmed me with admiration."
 - Goethe, 1786

 


Interested about history and architecture or not, Pantheon in Rome is definitely one place everyone should visit some day! I recommend it to all ages. Standing in front of this enormous and impressive building is a memorable and a breathtaking moment you sweeties wouldn't forget! When seeing it in this picture on the right you unfortunately can't realize its size and its beauty. It's something you should see in you own eyes.


To me, the location of Pantheon in Rome is quite confusing and mysterious. All of a sudden, the building stands in front of you, while you're on your way to the nearest shops. It's confusing that historical and important building like this is surrounded by normal city life: cafeterias, shops and apartments, for instance.






Things you should take a notice when you're visiting Pantheon in Rome are, at least to me...
- Enormous size of the building
- the Bronze doors when entering the building
  (
Those are original and were once covered in cold)
- the Roof of the building and the oculus of it.
  (

- Roman capitals and columns inside the building
- The main altar of the building
  (
You can see above it the original 7th-century icon of the Madonna and Child, if I remember right )
- Interior of the dome
- Tombs inside the building




Ps. When I finally find my right one,
