Pantheon with Macuteo Obelisk and FountainFilippo Barigioni

The Pantheon’s façade (118–125 AD), built under Emperor Hadrian, preserves Agrippa’s earlier inscription (M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT - Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time, built this). Before it stands the Macuteo Obelisk from Egypt (rededicated here in 1711) and the Baroque fountain by Filippo Barigioni (1711), blending imperial Rome, Christian Rome, and papal urban renewal into one historic vista.
