Rome Pantheon

Rome Pantheon is the surviving ancient rotunda of Santa Maria ad Martyres, also called the Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs, in Rome’s Campus Martius. The Roman Pantheon began with Marcus Agrippa and was rebuilt under Emperor Hadrian, whose design is best understood from the Oculus and the vast Unreinforced concrete dome.

Inside, look for Raphael's tomb, the Tomb of Vittorio Emanuele II, and the Corinthian granite columns framing the entrance and interior. The Fontana del Pantheon stands in Piazza della Rotonda outside, making the square a useful meeting point before a Pantheon guided tour or a self-guided visit.

A Pantheon entrance ticket is required for paid visits, while a Skip-the-line ticket does not remove security screening or guarantee a separate entrance queue; the official site states that no general skip-the-line access is available. A Timed entry slot may apply to the ticket you book, but there is no general Weekend reservation requirement for ordinary visitors. The Pantheon dress code should be church-appropriate because Rome Pantheon remains a basilica open for worship.

Opening hours are normally 9:00 to 19:00, with last individual entry at 18:30; from August 1 through August 31, 2026, evening visits run from 19:00 to 23:00 except Thursdays. Metro Barberini is a practical public-transport reference, while Largo di Torre Argentina transit is a useful central-Rome connection. First Sunday free admission applies monthly, including the August 2, 2026 evening period.
