I Love Touring Rome, Italy - Hotels In The Pantheon District

By:


The Pantheon in central Rome was a temple dedicated to the pagan gods. It is the most highly preserved temple of Ancient Rome, rebuilt in the Second Century. This magnificent structure is the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. Take a look at the sky through the oculus, the hole in the dome and admire its original bronze doors. The Palazzo Montecitorio houses the Chamber of Deputies, and the Pantheon area is home to many other historical buildings including Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Rome's only Gothic church which houses a Michelangelo. The Piazza della Minerva in front of this church hosts an elephant bearing an Egyptian obelisk. Talk about multiculturalism. For your convenience we have listed neighborhood hotels in approximate order of cost, starting with the least expensive. We have personally verified all these bed and breakfast and hotel websites addresses making sure that they include English-language pages.

The Baldassini Bed and Breakfast is located next to a Sixteenth Century palace. It is on the first floor, so you won't have to deal with elevators or several flights of steep steps. There is a single apartment which is suitable for four people. The address is Via delle Coppelle 37 int. 2 00186 Roma.

The Bed and Breakfast Pantheon View is situated near the Tempio di tutti gli dei (Temple of all the Divinities.) Each room is furnished with antiques and has a balcony that overlooks the Pantheon. The address is Via del Seminario, 87 - 00186 Rome.

The Albergo del Senato is on the Piazza della Rotunda, often called Piazza del Pantheon.
