Visit the Pantheon - one of Rome's most iconic and best-preserved ancient monuments with Virtual Tours TV! Join us in a walking tour in this architectural marvel built around 126 AD during Emperor Hadrian's reign, which continues to inspire awe nearly 2,000 years after its construction.

Originally dedicated to all gods ("Pan" and "theon" meaning "all" and "God" respectively in ancient Greek ), the Pantheon was converted to a Christian church in 609 AD, which helped preserve it from the destruction like many other Roman monuments. Today, it serves as both an active Catholic church and one of Rome's most visited historical sites, housing the tombs of two Italian kings (Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I) and the Renaissance painter, Raphael.
