What the Pantheon collection covers

Hadrian rebuilt the Pantheon between 118 and 125 CE. The Roman monument became the church of Santa Maria ad Martyres in the seventh century. History

Inside, Christian paintings and tomb monuments share the ancient building. They include Melozzo da Forlì's Annunciation, Raphael's tomb and the tomb of Victor Emmanuel II.

Its collection strengths include ancient Roman architecture and material culture, Renaissance devotional painting, and monumental funerary sculpture.

  • Annunciation

    Melozzo da Forlì painted this fresco of the Annunciation. It is among the Christian artworks inside the Pantheon, which remains a consecrated church.

  • Tomb of Raphael

    Raphael's tomb lies beneath Lorenzetto's Madonna del Sasso. Pietro Bembo wrote the Latin epitaph that honours the painter.

  • Tomb of Victor Emmanuel II

    Manfredo Manfredi designed this tomb for Victor Emmanuel II. The Pantheon also holds the remains of Umberto I and Queen Margherita.

These are collection records, not confirmation that the works are on display today.
