Learn about the history of this incredible monument and admire the spectacular dome. In the 19th century, French writer Stendhal described it as “the most beautiful relic of ancient Rome, a well-preserved temple that appears as the Romans must have seen it in their times. " A source of inspiration for the greatest architects of all ages, its beauty, the harmony of the lines, and the perfect geometries have always struck people, both in the past and the present.
The story of one of the best-preserved examples of Roman monumental architecture begins in 27 BC, when Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, a close friend, son-in-law, and lieutenant to Augustus, commissioned a temple in this area dedicated to “all the gods.” The present building is, however, the result of the radical reconstruction by Hadrian between 118 and 125 AD, who expanded it, reversing its orientation and opening a large square with a portico in front of the new temple.
