Below are a couple of select photos, and link to the full album is below. I also captured a really good 360 degree panorama inside the Pantheon that you must see. That link is below as well.

The Pantheon
We almost missed this, but someone else in our group recommended it. This is an amazing Basilica done in a huge round dome. We made it in just a few minutes before they closed the entrance late Sunday afternoon. Almost two thousand years after it was built, it's dome is still the worlds largest uneeinforced concrete dome. It is amazing to see when you consider the time period in which it was built. The portico is supported with eight huge Corinthiun columns and I cannot imagine how they were transported to the site and erected at that time. Really remarkable.
