			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-104" title="pantheon" src="http://www.romecapitalapartments.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pantheon-300x258.jpg" alt="pantheon" width="300" height="258" />The <strong>Pantheon </strong>is a building dating back to the distant Roman Empire, in fact it was built between 25 and 27 BC by Agrippa, precept of Emperor Augustus.</p>
<p>The reason why it was built, was to ensure that even the Romans had a place of worship in which to contemplate the gods.</p>
<p>The name is derived from Latin and means Pan:all and Theon: divine, then this is the reason that today makes us understand the reasons for its establishment.</p>
<p>Domitian in 80 AD, rebuilt it after a fire, thirty years later he was injured by lightning and took fire again, then was rebuilt in the manner in which today we can all admire. The latter form was given by Emperor Hadrian, a period during which the Roman Empire reached the summit of its glow.</p>
<p>The Pantheon has a particular shape, cylindrical, architectural model used in the construction industry but his Roman columns and his outer side are typical of Greek influence.</p>
<p>Despite the novice construction it was very different from what it originally was, the Emperor Hadrian wanted that it was marked on the front of the Pantheon a Latin inscription, meaning: &#8220;The built Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time &#8220;.</p>
<p>This ancient monument is the only one that still retains the unique peculiarities of its kind. It has a masonry Cupola, the biggest in the history of architecture. His architectural work is the best preserved in the world, it is considered the precursory of all existing places of worship, and ultimately it was one of the most ancient buildings and simulated plagiarized.</p>
<p>The area in which it stands is not accidental but it is a mythical place in the history of the capital. According to the history, this was the point where the creator of Rome, Romulus, died when he was still grasping for an eagle and taken up in the sky among the gods.</p>
