Le Pantheon in Paris
Le Pantheon was built as a church between 1764 and 1790. Its huge coupole (right and below from inside) dominates Paris from the top of the Sainte-Genevieve hill on the Seine left bank. Le Pantheon stands at the heart of the Quartier Latin, the lively and intellectual traditional Paris student district, with among other institutions the Sorbonne university and the College de France.
