The Pantheon is the oldest standing domed structure in Rome as well as in continuous use throughout its history. NOTE that it is possible that the Pantheon might start charging admission tickets.

Fontana di Trevi

Trevi fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in the city. Legend has it that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they will be assured a return to Rome. The current interpretation is that two coins will lead to a new romance and three will ensure either a marriage or divorce. Another current version of this legend is that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the fountain.
