Free: All time
The Pantheon is the oldest standing and the best preserved domed structure in Rome. This structure, built as a temple honoring all Roman gods, dates back to 27 BC. The dome in the Pantheon is an engineering feat that even almost two thousands years after it was built, it is still the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome. The Pantheon has been in continuous use throughout its history, and since the 7th century, it has been used as a Roman Catholic church. Mass is still held here Saturdays at 5pm and Sundays at 10:30am. Angel Tours offer a 30-minute free tour on the Pantheon everyday at 7pm. Request a spot from their website.

This site is extremely beautiful and worth every moment spent there. my family and I signed up for the Free Tour with Angel Tours. The historian was a wonderful story teller who the kids loved.
