The Romans cocked up the measurements on the front columns - hence the misplaced row of supports above the pitched front roof.

To think this was done in India 1000 years before LoL

I still have a hard time believing it was built over two millennia ago. Not only does it look a couple centuries old with just how well it's been preserved throughout the centuries, but it is also an architectural marvel in and of itself.

Reminds me of assassin's creed brotherhood 😌 good ol days bruh.

What caught fire were the wood strolls and pens.

There's one question doesn't leave me relieved, what happens during the rain? Water literally pours on the floor? Please reply those, who know

When I was a teenager I was lucky enough to spend a few nights in an old and somewhat run down grand hotel that had a closeup view of the dome. It seemed far larger than these pictures make it appear to be. It is truly magnificent.

Almost as old as mahori presence in australia, magnificent

Gamifying architecture is fascinating 👏 👌

Once it was supposed to be the "house of gods", as the name Pantheon suggest. During the Kingdom of Italy, the King Vittorio Emanuele the Second wanted a tomb that was a grandieur monument in his honor and that of his royal house. So he commissione the so called "Vittoriano", today's the "Tomb of the Unknow Soldier" in honor to the fallen soldiers of Italy (by the way, it's one of the greatest monuments in Rome). But when the King died this monument wasn't already finished so... The royal house decided to use the Pantheon as tomb for the Italian Kings. Today every King we had rest there. In particular Vittorio Emanuele II, the so called "Father of the Fatherland"... but, he was "Father" only of the Kingdom. The real Father of the Nation, of the Italians, was the Imperator Divi Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus. He designed and institutionalized Italy as a real thing and the Italians as inhabitants of this region. Then... well, the Kingdom ended in 1946 so... No more kings. Today we're waiting a new Caesar to guide us once again...

It is not concrete

Romans: Building giant domes but can't invent glass to make it stop raining inside SKILL ISSUE MUCH?

Anno Domini is the correct term

Latino genius

What if it rains though ? 🤔

If only we would make such grand buildings again. Incredible.

and all of this film looks cinematic a or fake and not real life. you cant put a filter on life or my thoughts. 🍻

GLORIA ROMA ROMA VINCIS

If historians are obsessed with the Roman Empire, then architects are obsessed with Florence Cathedral's dome. And for all the right reasons, it completely transformed the world of architecture.

Beautiful engineering

❤

timleless masterpiece 🫶🏼

Incredible project, showcasing humanity's ingenuity

I love this place ❤

Hayia Sofia was built using the same technique centuries before or am I wrong?

✨✨✨

This reminds me The movie called Di Medici!

Apparently he used to measure and weigh each freakin' brick multiple times. Maddening work.

You make like its special, well before that huge building where made in the exact same methods, That might be a special way to do that, but Arches for buildings were originally invented in the Middle East, the Greeks learned the method, and the Romans perfected it.

amazing

It’s a f waste of money going there I could’ve just stay home and look through my bedroom windows and see a tall chimney there from the back of my house that’s taller then the Eiffel Tower.

Beautiful and incredible!:

I was born in Florence. I am proud of my city, its people, its food, its art and its legacy. Now I've been living in Adelaide, Australia for 10 years, a beautiful place in its own right for different reasons, but I will always miss my home

Overpriced monument. Good for photography from outside.

This guy was also like 25 at the time. They valued arts, architecture and engineering, and we have tik tok. So sad.

Mental ...absolutely worthless and scary ...!

Thank Catholicism for building this cathedral and all of Western civilization.

We love Eiffel Tower and wish to see it standing 100 years more and more ❤

May it stay in Christian hands.

Sounds like an opportunity for a Rust-Oleum commercial !!! 😀
