Historic oil canvas of the Pantheon

The Pantheon’s program mirrors French history: church, mausoleum, and civic hall of memory.


🗓️ Key Moments

  • 1758–1790: Construction under Soufflot.
  • 1791: Declared mausoleum by the National Assembly.
  • 19th–20th c.: Alternates between church and civic uses.

📊 Program Shifts

Period Program Motive
Revolutionary Mausoleum Honor national figures
Restoration Church Return to religious use
Modern Civic icon Memory + education

Historic painting
