Directions to the Pantheon

Starting from the Termini Station, at the Piazza del Cinquecentro looking out, turn left on Via Cavour. Walk down four blocks and you will find Santa Maria Maggiore, located in Piazza del Esuilino. To leave the piazza take Via S. M. Maggiore, which will turn into Via Panisperna. Travel along this road around the left of the circle to V. IV Novembre. As you move along the road you will notice that it turns into V. Del Plebsato. Turn right on Via del Cestari. You will walk right into Bernini’s Egyptian obelisk and marble elephant here. Walk a little bit further straight and on your right you will see Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Continue just a little more on Via d. Minerva and you will find the Pantheon on the left.

It is a Catholic church that was once a Pagan church. There are numerous large columns that greet you at the entrance to the Pantheon, as well as large wooden doors that provide your entry inside. As you enter and look up, you will notice the oculus in the center of the Dome. Walk around the Pantheon to observe the Tomb of Raphael and the original Roman marble floors that were restored in 1873.
