History
Hadrian rebuilt the Pantheon and reshaped parts of Rome in the 2nd century AD, leaving architectural layers that later rulers and popes adapted for their own programs.
Conservation
High foot traffic can accelerate wear on ancient stone; stick to marked paths, avoid leaning on fragile surfaces, and carry out litter to reduce impact on historic fabric.
