Full description
Enjoy a 40 minutes tour of the fascinating Roman Temple dedicated to all the Gods with a professional guide. Marvel at its miraculously preserved interiors and the impressive Dome. Discover the engineering secrets that made this monument the only one of its size and age to have survived the effects of time and gravity.
Admire the beauty of its proportions as Michelangelo did when he first saw this architectural jewel, and discover the pagan rational behind them. Walk in through the Corinthian columns brought in all the way from Egypt and step on the ancient original marble floor of the temple.
