Ordered built as as massive church by Louis XV in 1744, but taken over by the Republic in 1791, the Pantheon is the final resting spot for heros of the Republic and memorials to the same.
The massive bronze doors dwarf Therri and give some hint to the size of the building.
The center hall.
Memorial to Diderot.
Memorial to the fallen of the Great War, the major battles are listed on the sides.
A beautiful an moving structure to those who made the French Republic great.
