The Panthéon is a mausoleum located in the Latin Quarter of Paris, France. Originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, it was completed in 1790. The building is a prime example of neoclassical architecture, featuring a grand dome and an imposing façade, making it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city.
In 1885, it was transformed into a mausoleum to honor distinguished French citizens. Notable figures interred here include Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola, and Marie Curie. The Panthéon serves both as a place of remembrance and a site for national ceremonies.
Visitors can explore the crypt and admire the stunning architecture of the interior, which includes beautiful murals and ornate decorations. The Panthéon also offers a panoramic view of Paris from its dome, attracting tourists and locals alike.
