As if it was possible to miss! This building must be unique in the world- its part Venetian renaissance and part 1001 Nights. Utterly magical.

One of my favorite places to visit in all of Rome is the Pantheon. It is one of the oldest churches in the entire city, and in addition to its rich history, I am also a big Dan Brown fan, and it is one of the most visible and accessible of the Roman land marks used in Angels and Demons, and it really helped bring the book to life.
