Bharath Mankani
★★★★★3 weeks agoThe architecture is truly breathtaking, and it's incredible to see how well-preserved this ancient monument is after nearly 2,000 years. Standing beneath the massive dome and looking up through the oculus is an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend taking some time to explore the details and learn about its significance. It's an absolute must-visit for anyone traveling to Rome.
Pokegemz
★★★★★a month agoAn amazing work of art by the ancient Romans. Definitely much larger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Very simple to enter. Line was only about five minutes. Long to purchase tickets using cash. Price is five euros per person.
