The Pantheon is the best preserved building dating from the time of ancient Rome and its name is now applied generally to places where illustrious personalities are buried. It was built in the year 125, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, but the design has often been credited to one of the most famous architects in history, Appollodorus of Damascus.
The Pantheon was used as a Catholic Church since the seventh century and started acting as a tomb during The Renaissance. Artists like the painter Raphael, the composer Arcangelo Corelli are buried here
