-The Pantheon dome in Rome. Originally below ground level with a graveyard inside for military men of valour. Today, the structure is at street level, has been converted into a hokee church but remains the most original of the standing ruins of Rome. The Pantheon is Western Architecture weathering very well through the centuries.
