The Panthéon, located in the Latin Quarter of Paris, is a remarkable architectural marvel blending both neoclassical and Gothic styles. Originally conceived by King Louis XV in 1758 as a church dedicated to Saint Genevieve, it now serves as a mausoleum housing the remains of distinguished French citizens, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and Marie Curie. Designed by architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot, it features a striking façade with Corinthian columns and a spectacular dome offering panoramic views of the city. Visitors can explore the crypt and admire Foucault's pendulum, a testament to Earth's rotation. The Panthéon is a symbol of France's rich history and intellectual legacy, perfect for those interested in culture and architecture.
