A visit to the Pantheon. Now what is amazing about this is the domed roof. It is the largest unreinforced concrete roof in the world. Yes the Romans used concrete and it has never been repaired, ever! Built 2000 years ago. Such engineers. The height to the dome too matches the diameter. 142 . So a 71 radius sphere could sit exactly within this structure. In comparison The United States Capitol Dome is taller but lesser in diameter. 96. It was built in 1855 but has been renovated on a major scale 3 times. Moral of the story. It needs some landscaping. Call us.
