Colonna in Roma in Città metropolitana di Roma Capitale, Latium, Rome, Italy — Central Italy (Tyrrhenian Coast)
Hotel Pantheon
The hotel Pantheon, as its sign reminds us, is near one of the most famous monuments in the world. Rome, the eternal city, drew big crowds of travellers, particularly on the occasion of the Holy Years, when pontiffs promoted important construction, restoration and road building work, so as to show Rome in all its magnificence and to attribute the merit for it to their own pontificate. In relation to the big flows of pilgrims a lot of inns and taverns were built, some of the oldest of which were concentrated in the Minerva, Pantheon, Argentina and Campo de' Fiori area, which were particularly popular with tourists in the Middle Ages since the inns had places for putting carriages and horses. With its activity the Pantheon hotel today perpetuates the old hotel tradition in the area, being in a small eighteenth-century palazzo that looks out on Via dei Pàstini, a picturesque pedestrianized street that winds between two of the most beautiful piazzas in the capital, significant areas in which past and present admirably blend: Piazza di Pietra, dominated by the stately façade of the Temple of Hadrian, and Piazza della Rotonda, defined by the monumentality of the Pantheon, nodal points in an area marked by all moments in the life of the city. The temple, which today constitutes the façade of the Chamber of Commerce, built inside it, in 145 BC was promoted by Antoninus Pius to celebrate his adoptive father, Publius Aelius Hadrianus; while the Pantheon was founded by Agrippa in 19 BC, and then officially became Christian with the name Santa Maria ad Martyres. The Pantheon hotel, which is cosy and luxurious, offers custom-designed services and all modern comforts with elegant style and refined forms. For the interiors care has been taken
over every least detail, and they are enriched by precious and original particulars like the splendid art nouveau staircase in wrought iron, the wooden ceilings with old trusses, the floors in Spanish earthenware, linings in Carrara marble and artistic glass doors.

The Pantheon, temple of all the gods, is a former Roman temple and, since 609 AD, a Catholic church (Basilicam Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs) in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated c. 126 AD. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple, which had burned down.(Submitted on July 24, 2023, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
