About this tour
This Pantheon tour pairs the best-preserved building of ancient Rome with one of the city’s cleverest Baroque tricks.
The Pantheon
Nearly 2,000 years old, the Pantheon’s concrete dome is still the largest unreinforced dome in the world, open to the sky through its central oculus. Your guide explains how a temple to the Roman gods became a Christian church, and shows you Raphael’s tomb.
Sant’Ignazio’s painted dome
A few minutes’ walk away, the Church of Sant’Ignazio hides a famous illusion: a dome that was never built, painted on a flat ceiling by Andrea Pozzo. Stand on the marked spot and watch it rise, as your guide explains how perspective and light shape the church.
