The large temple or meeting place was finished during 125 CE and made while Trajan and Hadrian were emperors. The building has a large, rectangular porch with columns and the rest is a large circular shape. The porch and stairs leading up to it are made up of yellow marble, but the rest of the building is brick and concrete. Some other materials used were Aswan granite, Pentelic marble, and stucco. The inside consists of a dome ceiling to look outside, coffered ceiling, and grand entrance ways. Inside of the Pantheon there is also a lot of colored stones: like purple, grey, red, and yellow. It is unknown what the Pantheon’s original purpose really was, but it later served as a church. The Pantheon is no longer used for these reasons, but it still has a purpose in modern day Rome. It serves as a tomb for Italian Monarchy and brings many tourists to Rome to see the ancient building
