The Pantheon in Rome is an architectural marvel known for its massive, unreinforced concrete dome, which remains the largest of its kind in the world nearly 2,000 years after its construction. Its oculus, a central opening at the top of the dome, not only provides natural light but also creates a sense of connection with the heavens.
