Visiting The Pantheon Paris

The Pantheon Paris is a majestic structure that was built along the lines of the famous Roman Pantheon in the 18th century. While initially, this monument served as a holy church dedicated to the patron saint of France, Saint Genevieve, it was used as a mausoleum later. Since this ancient monument has undergone many changes during its long history, you will find a variety of architectural styles adorning the structure.

In addition to its historical significance and neoclassical architecture, the Pantheon attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to see the spectacular artworks and sculptures housed within. The most notable of these is the Foucault Pendulum which showcases the rotation of Earth on its axis. You can also tour the crypt and witness the graves of famous writers, politicians, and scientists such as Marie Curie, Victor Hugo, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In fact, you can even ascend the cupola and enjoy panoramic views of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower.
