Pantheon

So, to continue on the tour of our visit to Paris, we visited the Pantheon. As with everything else, we found it interesting but again large. The shear scale of things in Paris got a bit overwhelming at times. We were able to take a tour up to the roof which gave good views.

So, the church was originally dedicated to St. Genevieve and finished in 1781. The massive pendulum was added in 1851. It is interesting because the building has changed functions many times during the course of its history. It was a church, then not, then again, then not. Because of this, it has two entrances: one to the church building and a separate one to just the crypt.
