Pantheon
Terhal
An exceptionally well-preserved ancient Roman temple from the 2nd century AD, famous for its unreinforced concrete dome — the largest of its kind in the world for centuries — and its circular roof opening (the oculus) that lets in natural light directly; used today as an active church.
