Pantheon Guided Tour
Report to Touristation Navona, where you will be welcomed by our lovely staff. Continue your journey in the lively heart of Rome at Campo de’ Fiori, a square steeped in charm and local tradition. Surrounded by Renaissance buildings and buzzing with the energy of market stalls and cafés, it’s the perfect place to start immersing yourself in the city's atmosphere.
From here, stroll through the historic center to Largo di Torre Argentina, an impressive archaeological site housing the remains of four ancient Roman temples. This spot is also famously known as the place where Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC—an event that changed the course of Roman history. Today, the site is also home to a beloved cat sanctuary, adding an unexpected and endearing touch to your walk.
The route continues through Rome’s enchanting streets, where every corner reveals a hidden church, a noble palace, or a striking fountain. This stretch offers a unique opportunity to experience the authentic soul of the Eternal City, blending everyday Roman life with layers of ancient history.
Your walk culminates at the magnificent Pantheon, one of the best-preserved monuments from ancient Rome. Originally built by Marcus Agrippa in 27 BC as a temple to all Roman gods, the Pantheon has stood for centuries as a symbol of architectural and spiritual brilliance. In the 7th century, it was consecrated as a Christian church, which contributed to its exceptional preservation.
Inside, explore freely at your own pace. Marvel at the enormous unreinforced concrete dome—the largest of its kind in the world—and the oculus at its center, an open skylight that connects the interior space to the heavens above. Take a moment to reflect near the tombs of notable figures such as the artist Raphael and King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy.
