The Pantheon is a famous building in ancient Rome, and when you stand in front of the Pantheon and look up, you will be impressed by this historic and well-preserved European building.

Oliver said: "The temple was praised by Michelangelo as an angel, which shows its ingenious design, and the Pantheon is a fine example of ancient Rome's exquisite architectural technique, a classic example that must be learned in architectural textbooks." ”

"It's also very well located in the heart of Rome, where there is a fountain with a tall spire in the center, carved with scenes from ancient Roman mythology, and the fountain is located in the forecourt of the Pantheon. ”

"I believe you have been to many countries, Russia, Hungary, France, Italy, architects are very fond of using fountains to decorate the building, the old-fashioned building in front of the fountain plus the flexibility of the fountain, it appears more vivid image, the fountain spouts spring water, generally with artificial circulation, the water sprayed out, through a specific device can also be refluxed, sprayed again, so circular, energy-saving and good-looking. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, "Yes, I also found that in many places in Europe, architects like to use fountains to enliven the atmosphere, there are grand celebrations, or holidays, celebrations will be held, where there are fountains, often can gather popularity, parents will bring their children to watch the fountains, some are also made into musical fountains, accompanied by various musical rhythms, the fountains beat happily, dance with the wind, swaying." ”

"Yes, the fountain can indeed be a beautiful scenery when used well, and next, I will explain to you the history of the construction of the Pantheon, which was built in 27-25 BC by Agrippa, the son-in-law of Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, to worship the gods on Mount Olympia, which can be described as a classic building in the Augustan period. ”

"Of course, the Pantheon has also suffered a fire that destroyed most of the Pantheon, leaving only a rectangular colonnade. ”

Years later, it was rebuilt, and this part was used as the portico of the later rebuilt Pantheon, with a monumental inscription from the initial construction period engraved on the top of the portico, and the original scale of the Pantheon can still be seen from the eight huge columns on the front of the portico. ”

Oliver introduced, while taking everyone into the visit, Qu Lihua looked up, saw the colonnade that Oliver just said, after the reconstruction, completely changed, has been completely renewed, the construction designer is experienced, very understanding of the artistic beauty of architecture, know how to design, is the most beautiful.

It is a huge cylinder of equal width and height, covered with a semicircular roof, the foundation, walls and dome of the Pantheon are all poured from concrete made of volcanic ash, very solid, the lower half of the Pantheon is hollow cylindrical, starting from half the height and the upper half is a hemispherical dome.

Oliver said: "This is the most powerful support, which can hold up a huge weight, and this is the principle of mechanics!"

Qu Lihua nodded, and Meng Wenjie also felt that this design was very ingenious, which was both beautiful and could bear the weight.

Oliver said: "The architect, in order to build the Pantheon still spent a lot of thought, in order to make the decrease in the thickness of the dome wall more conducive to the stability of the overall building of the Pantheon, the inner wall of the Dome of the Pantheon is neatly divided into five rows, each row of 28 grids, each grid is carved from top to bottom, not only to make the decrease in wall thickness more reasonable, but also to increase the aesthetics of the Pantheon's interior." ”

Qu Lihua looked up, and sure enough, it was designed like this, just enough to support the weight, and the inner wall was designed very beautifully, looking solemn and gorgeous.

Oliver continued: "Architects are very experienced, and when they design, they have already calculated all kinds of data, and the data must not be wrong, otherwise if one place is wrong, the material in another place will not be enough, it must be no more, no less, just right, the height and diameter of the top of the dome are the same, and the section of the Pantheon can accommodate a whole circle. ”

"The two-story division of the interior wall is also close to the golden section, so it is often cited as an ancient example of compositional harmony through geometric forms. ”

Meng Wenjie nodded, "Oh, I've read about this design principle in books before, and the clever design is that it will attract and redistribute the huge tension of the dome, and the rainwater will also enter through the hole, but it will drain away through multiple small holes in the sloping marble floor that are barely visible." ”

Oliver nodded, "Yes, that way we can make sure that the rain doesn't soak through the walls and get rain everywhere and make the walls moldy." ”

Qu Lihua stared at the bronze gate at the entrance of the temple, this gate did not know what magic power, firmly attracted Qu Lihua's attention, listening to Oliver said, this door and the dome and the porch ceiling covered with gilded copper tiles echo each other, now the copper tiles have long been used as other ways, leaving only the beautifully carved bronze gate, the marks of the years and the vicissitudes of life, people are full of emotion.

The Pantheon is wide and empty, without a single pillar, and there is a round hole at the top of the dome, and the light shines in from the outside, making the Pantheon more solemn and grand.

Oliver said: "The Pantheon, as the name suggests, is the temple where the gods are located, the Pantheon is a masterpiece of ancient Roman architectural art, which has witnessed the historical changes of Italy, and many famous artists such as Raphael are buried here, as well as the kings and royal relatives of the Italian monarchy." ”

"The shrine may have been filled with statues of gods, tombs of some famous people, such as the tomb of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king after the unification of Italy, and the tomb of Raphael, a painter of the Italian Renaissance. ”

The seven niches in the Pantheon, dedicated to the god of war and Giulio Caesar's gods and heroes, in addition to the niches, there are many statues of gods and heroes in the temple, and the chapel on the side of the Pantheon is the resting place of important figures such as Raphael, King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy, Umberto I and his wife Queen Margaerita.

Oliver said: "It is once a prominent king or royal relative after the death, the tomb can only enter, ordinary people are difficult to enter, Europe also pays attention to the status of hierarchy and dignity, in that era is not allowed ordinary people to visit here, now the times have progressed, society has changed, history has long gone, everyone is equal, people have had the power that they did not have before, there are many tourists who come here to visit, many are curious about the previous period of history, come here to visit and travel." ”

"The style of the Pantheon has changed a lot, and a large number of decorations, such as bronze sculptures depicting the battle of gods and men during the period dedicated to the gods, have been replaced in large areas after being converted into a church. ”

"A classical building can not always retain its original appearance, after the hands of several architectural designers, its design style has changed, and because of the age, there are some places that have gone through the wind and rain of the years, it seems a little old, and after so many years, there are human factors, there are also factors of objective natural conditions, it has become what we see now."

Qu Lihua nodded, standing in front of the Pantheon, she raised her mobile phone and pressed the shooting button, freezing the picture forever.
