Under the largest concrete dome in the ancient world, you will feel the weight of history fade before the lightness of a ray of light coming down from the oculus.\n\nYou don't come to see a church or a temple; You come to witness how the Roman order tamed the sun.

Once inside (with your time reservation), we will move away from the royal tombs to stand in the central axis below the oculus. We will observe how the disk of light moves across the marble floor and walls, illuminating the coffered ceilings of the dome.\n\nWe will end the visit in the adjacent church, <strong>San Luigi dei Francesi<\/strong>, to contemplate <strong>Caravaggio<\/strong>'s frescoes in total silence, closing a circle of light and baroque art that only the center of Rome can offer without additional entrance fee to the temple.","audio_guide_en":"","audio_guide_es":"","audio_guide_duration":"","image_2":5343,"image_3":5345,"image_4":5347,"image_5":5349,"origin_point":"Piazza della Rotonda","curated_waypoints":"","destination_point":"Pantheon di Roma","latitude_start":"41.8991","longitude_start":"12.4768","golden_spot_lat":"41.8986","golden_spot_lng":"12.4769","golden_spot_tips":"Position yourself exactly in the <strong>central quadrant of the marble floor<\/strong> between <strong>11:45 AM and 12:15 PM<\/strong>.
