SUBJECT/BUILT WORK DESCRIPTION:
|
The Pantheon is a large, imposing structure, composed
of a domed rotunda (interior diameter, 142 feet) attached
to a columned entrance portico. Now free-standing,
the building originally formed the focal point of
a long, porticoed forecourt. On the interior, the
coffered dome is opened in the center by a broad oculus.
Six of the seven niches are screened off from the
vast central space by doubled columns. The upper levels
are decorated with a rich marble revetment.
The Pantheon has been in continuous use since its
dedication to the seven planetary gods in A.D. 128
and its consecration as a church in the early seventh
century. It is the major surviving example of concrete-vaulted
architecture which was Rome's unique contribution
to European architecture. [Partially abstracted from
Ward-Perkins, 1977, pp. 133-142.]
