Pantheon
The stately Pantheon is one of the world's most inspiring
architectural designs. Fittingly built as a temple to the Gods by
Hadrian in 120 AD, its perfectly proportioned floating dome rests
seductively on sturdy marble columns. The only light source flowing
through the central oculus was used by the Romans to measure time
(with the aid of a sundial) and the dates of equinoxes and
solstices. The south transept houses the Carafa Chapel and the tomb
of Fra Angelico rests under the left side of the altar.

Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
Opening Times
Open Monday to Saturday, from 8.30am to 7.30pm; on
Sundays from 9am to 6pm. Closed New Year's Day, 1 May and Christmas
