Walk Around the Pantheon Neighborhood

The Pantheon is the world's best preserved ancient Roman temple and an engineering wonder. Too often, though, images just focus on the porch, the exterior dome, and the incredible interior space. But how many have actually walked around it?' Take a stroll with Darius on a crisp late January morning for "Rome this week". You'll learn more about its original exterior, marble decoration, views of the transition block, and the little considered "grottoni".
