Our book «Pantheon. Architecture & Light» will introduce you to one of the most extraordinary and best-preserved buildings of Roman antiquity.
It recounts its millennia-long history, from its completion by Emperor Hadrian in 125 AD to when it was transformed into the current church of Santa Maria ad Martyres in 609 AD, saving it from desctruction.
You will discover the magic light of its spectacular illuminations, which had a precise symbolic meaning, like the Arch of Light: you can see in an interview broadcasted by the Italian telvision Rai3 in 2019, at the following link.
The dome of the Pantheon is an absolute architectural masterpiece of all time, both aesthetically and structurally.
First of all, its proportions: the diameter of the dome equals its height, meaning that a perfect sphere was ideally contained within the building.
To this day, the Pantheon's dome is the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.
