Why did the Romans build the Pantheon?
The original purpose for the Pantheon was to honor the Roman gods this is known for several reasons. The Roman gods are named after the seven planets that were familiar to the Romans. There are seven niches in the walls of the Pantheon where the statues of the seven gods were probably placed. The shape of the building is not by coincidence either. The orbs of the planets probably inspired the cylindrical shape of the building. During the medieval period the pantheon was turned into a Christian church. During the Renaissance the Pantheon was converted into a tomb and that is what remained to this day.
