The tour then proceeds to the Pantheon, a true masterpiece of Roman architecture. With only 20 minutes allocated, guests can admire its impressive dome, oculus, and centuries-old design. The free entry makes the Pantheon accessible, and the guide shares important details about its history and architecture.
