This is the Roman Pantheon which was in surprisingly good repair for a building that is about two thousand years old. In the lower left corner of this picture you can seem Barbara operating a water fountain. Below on the left is a picture of the doors to the Panthen. They are really large as you can see my the way they dwarf Barbara. Next to that is a picutre of the back of the Pantheon. | ![]() |

Above on the left is a picture of the view as you enter the Pantheon. There would be about eight grottos like this all around the room each with an image of one of the old Roman gods. Next to that is a picture of the massive dome roof with an opening in the center. This is a picture of one the statues around the room as is the picture on the left below. Next we went to the Roman zoo. Below is a picture an elephant that was begging for food which made us a little sad. | ![]() |
