Rome, Italy
This photo is looking past a fountain that stands in front of the Pantheon, with the front of the Pantheon in the background. The Pantheon is a very unique building and one of my favorites in Rome because there is nothing else like it! It was originally built as a Greek Temple about 27 B.C. but the present building was built about 126 A.D. and is now a Catholic Church. It is a circular building with a dome that has a circular opening that allows rain to fall to the floor below. The floor slopes just enough so that drains along the wall can catch the running water. I have been there during a rain storm and it is pretty interesting! The engineering from nearly 2,000 years ago is awesome!
