The Pantheon sits on a civic stage—the Latin Quarter, a landscape of schools, libraries, and discourse. Streets fan out from the hill, granting sightlines that dramatize the portico.


🗺️ Topography and Streets

  • Elevation provides symbolic authority.
  • Approach angles create reveals of the facade.
  • Plazas host gatherings and quiet rituals.
