It is the best building of the Roman archaeological conservation hand, and perhaps the best preserved building from that era in the world.

Was built in 126 AD as a temple to all the gods of ancient Rome, turned to the Romanian Catholic Church since the 17th century and with the tourist visits to all the people of different religions and sects permit, except in times of prayer days Sunday.

Consists of a gallery Cyclic large with three granite massive columns, the gallery opens in the lobby topped by a dome and, despite that over this two thousand years, building on its construction, however, this dome is still the largest concrete dome in the world, with an inner circle of 43.3 meters diameter (142 feet).






Believes that the design of the building dates back to the architect Emperor Trajan Ibolodros Damascus , but on an equal footing can be a construction and design, thanks to the Emperor  Hadrian engineers or architects.
