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.

The Pantheon is a remarkable domed structure in the center of Rome. Its purpose was to allow for the worship of all Roman Gods (the word Pantheon literally means "all gods") in a single location.

No records survive about what use it was intended for, or about what use it was put to.

We don't even know if they called it the Pantheon - which is a Greek word given to it by later generations.

To honor the god Athena. The Pantheon is a building in Rome. It was built as a temple to all the Roman gods by Agrippa (friend of Caesar Augustus) and rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian as part of his public works program. In Greece a structure called the Parthenon Was also erected to honor Athena.

As its name suggests, the Pantheon was built to honor all the gods. The original pantheon, built by Agrippa, was said to have had statues of Augustus and himself flanking the entrance, honoring them along with the gods. The reconstructed pantheon that exists today was rebuilt by Hadrian to honor all the gods and himself in the building's unique design.
