What is a large roman temple with a circular hole in the roof?

The most famous temple with a circular whole in the roof is the Pantheon. A pantheon was a temple dedicated to all gods and not just one gods or a trinity. It is well preserved because it was turned into a Christian church. It is a rotunda (it is circular) and has the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. It has an oculus (eye, round whole) at the top of the dome which, along with the entrance door, is the only source of light.
In the Roman days the most important round temple with a whole at the top was the aedes of vesta, the goddess of the hearth
The aedes was the dwelling place of a god and housed the divinity's image. It was distinct from the templum (temple) which was an building sacred to a god. It meant both temple and shrine. Terminology could be complicated. Vitruvius used the word the templum for the space dedicated to a god as defined through augury (divination) and aedes for the actual building. He also said that the design depended on the type of divinity. For a god of the sky it had it should be open to the sky.

Why the roman pantheon is important?
The pantheon, today is important due to its age and construction. It's main feature, the dome, is/was the largest in the world. Its method of construction is analyzed and written about today and its oculus, that hole in the roof, is a cause of speculation. In its own time, the pantheon was important because it was not only a temple, but also a continuation of the imperial authority, as its history goes back to the time of Augustus.

Are Anderson shelters underground?
Not exactly. Anderson shelters were intended to be semi submerged in back gardens. A hole about two foot deep was dug in the earth and the semi-circular corrugated iron shelter was placed in the hole. The excavated soil was then placed on top of the shelter to give it extra protection. The main problem, because it was partially underground, was flooding.
