The Pantheon

My favourite structure in all of Europe, dating all the way back to 125 AD. A clue as to the reason it is my favourite lies in its name 'Pantheon' which means 'temple of all Gods'. It was built during the Roman Empires reign as a temple to the Roman mythological gods. Since the 7th century the dam Christians got their hands on it and now it is the patron Catholic church of Rome (remembering that St Peters Basilica is in the Vatican a sovereign nation in itself). The inside is now even complete with pews, tabernacle and you guessed it its own oversized crucifix. Gotta love those Catholics. Oh and it also sports a massive circular uncovered skylight, let us pray that it rains on Sunday mass.

Footnote: I apologise to any Catholics I have offended by this entry, please understand it is no you I despise, just your religion.
