PANTHEON, ROME

The Pantheon from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheion, "[temple] of all

the gods") is a former Roman temple and since the year 609 a
Catholic church (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica
of St. Mary and the Martyrs), in Rome, Italy, on the site of an
earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the
reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was rebuilt by the emperor
Hadrian and probably dedicated c. 126 AD. Its date of
construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to
inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of
Agrippa's older temple, which had burned down.

It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings,

in large part because it has been in continuous use throughout
its history and, since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been in
use as a church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" (Latin:
Sancta Maria ad Martyres) but informally known as "Santa
Maria Rotonda".[5] The square in front of the Pantheon is
called Piazza della Rotonda. The Pantheon is a state property,
managed by Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities
and Tourism through the Polo Museale del Lazio. In 2013, it was
visited by over 6 million people
Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris (French: [nɔtʁə dam də paʁi]

(listen); meaning "Our Lady of Paris"), referred to
simply as Notre-Dame,[a] is a medieval Catholic
cathedral on the Île de la Cité (an island in the
Seine River), in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.
The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is
considered one of the finest examples of French
Gothic architecture. Several of its attributes set it
apart from the earlier Romanesque style,
particularly its pioneering use of the rib vault and
flying buttress, its enormous and colourful rose
windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its
sculptural decoration.[5] Notre Dame also stands
out for its musical components, notably its three
pipe organs (one of which is historic) and its
immense church bells.[
SAGRADA FAMILIA, SPAIN

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan:

[b əˈ zilik ə ð ə l ə s əˈɣɾ að ə f əˈ milj ə ]; Spanish: Basílica de la Sagrada
Familia; 'Basilica of the Holy Family'), also known as the Sagrada
Família, is a large unfinished minor basilica in the Eixample
district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by the Catalan
architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on the building is
part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010,
Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a
minor basilica.

On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began

under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when
Villar resigned,[7] Gaudí took over as chief architect,
transforming the project with his architectural and engineering
style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.
Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is
buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a
quarter of the project was complete.

ROYAL PAVILLION, BRITAIN

The Royal Pavilion, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a

Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton,
England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a
seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the
Prince Regent in 1811, and King George IV in 1820. It is built in
the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th
century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes
and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended
the building starting in 1815. George IV's successors William IV,
and Victoria, also used the Pavilion, but Queen Victoria decided
that Osborne House should be the royal seaside retreat, and
the Pavilion was sold to the city of Brighton in 1850.

On 1 October 2020, management and operation of the Royal

Pavilion & Museums' buildings and collections were transferred
from Brighton & Hove City Council to a new charity: the Royal
Pavilion & Museums Trust (RPMT).
