The Pantheon is now a church, and it's weird because the signs talk about how it used to be some "pagan temple" in this casually dismissive way as if that's not the much more recognisable and interesting use of the building.

Replying to @smolrobots
Ironically its use as a church is likely what kept it in the condition it’s in. It’s one of the most well-preserved ancient buildings, although much of it was still taken away or destroyed.
