| Inside the Pantheon |
The Pantheon is another location
that features in Angels and Demons. I’ve
been lucky enough to visit this temple more than once. Most recently the
circular building was almost empty and it was possible to walk around,
leisurely taking in its splendour.
Guidebooks list its many
attributes, the number of columns, the circumference of the oculus – all worth
noting – but you have to take a moment just to enjoy looking at the
building.
Many photos appear in books of a
shaft of light, searing through the oculus in the domed roof. I count myself
lucky that I have witnessed it.
I’ve had many special moments in Rome, visiting the Pantheon is one of them.
