The Grand Pantheon was a temple built in the very early days of ancient Rome. It was dedicated to all the Roman gods. First, it was made of wood but it burned down. Next, the Romans used concrete (one of their inventions) to make this large building and dome. Still today, it is one of the largest single-span domes in the world. The dome is in the back and eight large columns are in the front.
