Description
Interior view of the Pantheon with niches, coffered ceiling and granite and marble floor. "... inside which was embellished with colored marble and bronze moldings. The floor is inlaid with colored granite and marble in the form of squares and circles. The inside of the dome is based on simple geometry. The dome is circular in height and width. The diameter and height of the rotunda are the same, 142 feet. The walls of the dome have a honeycombed effect known as coffering. The use of coffering allowed for the dome to appear larger than it was,"--Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst website.
