Pantheon Rome: Guide & Tour

Stand under the oculus and know exactly where the light will fall. Pantheon Rome: Guide & Tour is an in-depth guide to Rome's best-preserved ancient building, made for visitors who want to understand what they're looking at. FOLLOW THE SUNBEAM The open oculus at the top of the dome, 8 to 9 metres across, casts a moving disc of sunlight across the interior. The app calculates where it falls right now, from the sun's real position over Rome, and shows it in a 3D cutaway of the rotunda and on a plan seen from above. With Pro, scrub through any hour of any day and jump to the special days, like 21 April, when the noon beam is thought to light the entrance. HOW THE DOME STANDS An interactive cross-section of the great unreinforced concrete dome: the foundation ring, the walls, the step-rings, the concrete that gets lighter towards the top, the coffers and the oculus, each explained. INSIDE THE PANTHEON An interactive floor plan with 21 highlights: Raphael's tomb, the tombs of Italy's first kings, the bronze doors, the original Roman marble floor, Agrippa's inscription and the stories behind them, with sources. A GUIDED TOUR 14 stops from the portico to Raphael's tomb, each with a photo, its place on the plan and narration in your language. AROUND THE PANTHEON A short GPS walk to the piazzas, fountains and churches nearby: Bernini's elephant, Borromini's Sant'Ivo, Piazza Navona, and two churches with paintings by Caravaggio.
