Text by A.R. Williams and NGM staff:
PANTHEON: "An expression of imperial power, this dome was the largest ever built at the time. It roofed a temple to all Roman gods. Recessed squares in the ceiling helped lighten its weight."
HAGIA SOPHIA: "First s Byzantine church and then a mosque, this building is now a museum. The dome rises above a row of windows and seems to float like the fault of heaven when the sun streams in."
