Following pointers throw light on the Pantheon:

There are many doors made up of bronze and are about 20 feet in width. There is a dome of 20 feet diameter. Light enters from the dome and make the area bright.
3. Interior of Pantheon is designed magnificently and it is rounded architecture with many designs on the walls. The great width of the dome and spacious area make it wonderful. Many things are made by the recent rulers but Marcus Agrippa was the first person to construct the real building and since then many times renovation took place.
4. There are many carvings in the interior of the monument and you can still see the old bronze doors which are left after so many disasters. Material used for the construction was very strong and it is the reason why we are able to see the building still in that place. Bricks were used for constructing the building in those days and now stones were also used for making the building strong and attractive.
