Pantheon Dome and Oculus

257
The Pantheon’s dome (118–125), spanning 43.3 meters, remains the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome. The central oculus, open to the sky, symbolizes the link between the earthly and divine. The coffered design reduces weight while creating a cosmic harmony reflecting Roman architectural genius.
