Stand underneath the Pantheon's oculus with Darius Arya and experience what it is like when it rains inside Rome's most gorgeous temple! The oculus of the Pantheon spans nearly 9 meters and is entirely open. When it rains (and rarely, snows) the precipitation falls through the hole onto the ancient pavement, getting it wet. Much of the water evaporates at it falls earthward, but it's quite the scene no matter where you stand inside the Pantheon. I take you right underneath, to get wet and admire the experience. Enjoy!
