St Peters itself is built on top of a graveyard. One of the graves supposedly belongs to St Peter.

The view from our 'eatery'. Great food! Great views!

The inscription from the front of the Pantheon reads:

"It was built by Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time"

This 'eye' in the roof allows light (and rain!) into this windowless ancient building in the heart of Rome.

In fact, the Pantheon is the oldest surviving Roman building which is still in use and one of my favourites too!

Just one of the magnificent churches that 'litter' the streets of Rome. I love the details here, most of which probably go unnoticed from day to day.
