About to enter the Pantheon, Hadrian rebuilt it to house their gods and also those of the empires c

Some time ago I had the opportunity to visit the Eternal City of Rome, but are still in my memory many daily images come to mind. Above all there is, is not the Colosseum, the Forum is not, it is an incredible masterpiece of Roman engineering and was a role model in many buildings over the centuries. I speak of the majestic Pantheon and its amazing, perfect and impressive dome which I will try to tell you some facts but mostly I will tell you my personal impression.
Walking through the narrow streets in the heart of Rome we find the Piazza della Rotonda (Rotunda Square) that receives the name of this majestic monument as it is also known as Hadrian's Rotunda Rotunda or Pantheon.
Imagine a sunny day with the little square full of people, walking, sitting around the obelisk fountain, shopping, eating, etc.. and all this pervasive sumáis Pantheon vision that rises above the rest of the colorful houses of the place, dominating the landscape black lights from its privileged position. If you are not ready mentally to put a white robe and golden laurel wreaths all those crowds that focuses on the place you will believe you have gone back in time and meet you in the splendid times of Ancient Rome. Of course not all were with this costume, it was just to get in position and try to convey the moment I stood in the middle of the square in order to try to absorb its essence. It was the turn of knowing this majestic ancient temple. The Pantheon was built by Marcus Agrippa few years before the time of Christ. Unfortunately, as has happened countless times, burned 80 years AD was Adriano who 40 years later raised it again with the architect Apollodorus of Damascus, with many variations but always respecting the original details and here's the kicker. During the preceding centuries to the present day structure has remained intact black lights without black lights restoration. Very few buildings can say that since we are talking of 19 centuries.
About to enter the Pantheon, Hadrian rebuilt it to house their gods and also those of the empires conquered, I look up is inevitable following the route of the high columns supporting the porch of the main facade. They discover an intricate wooden structure support mode which is said was originally bronze. Surprising was that were replaced long after guns in order to make a man of peace and of course that's what I think it should be a pope. What dark stages had to come in which almost nothing was not respected and which was burned, destroyed or stole any work done by great artists under the name of the kingdom and the church.
Among the materials used for the construction of the temple are carved stone, Egyptian granite and marble from both Greece and Italy. Passing inside then we realize that it is a unique temple. black lights In those days this was domed circular structure typical of other structures such as the Roman baths, so when you walk in you get the feeling of being in a strange place where you feel small given its enormous size both in area and in height .
Walking the huge room and getting lost among its many works of art I encounter black lights a detail by way of papal coat of arms. As a curiosity I will say that photography is the highlights of Benedict XVI and that includes in its central part golden shell, black lights unmistakable symbol of the pilgrim. black lights
Also change the tradition to date using on top instead of the crown or tiara, the pallium with which we are accustomed to seeing them in many religious ceremonies. It is said that the introduction of the shell in the shield is also due to some other legend as the shield of a Bavarian monastery with which feels very identified also contains.
I've made you wait to find out what for me above all in this great pantheon. Definitely surprised that more leaves us all who have had the opportunity to visit is his extraordinary and perfect concrete dome. How is it that has stood for all these centuries?
I'm not going to give an architecture black lights class but I will say that the quality of materials is fundamental black lights to understand that this build up has endured black lights for so long. Adriano pored over the details so that the dome was practically perfect. One of the materials used to make concrete, black lights in order to
