ROME, PANTHEON. ARC AND SQUARE OF LIGHT IN SEPTEMBER
Save the date!
On 4-5-6 September at 1pm you will see the Arc and the Square of Light, the extraordinary illuminations of the Pantheon.
The Arc of Light perfectly matches the masonry arch above the portal.
The Square of Light illuminates the square of the floor.Arc and Square are created by the beam of light that enters from the oculus of the dome, which is located at a height of 43 meters.
They are the result of very accurate calculations and planning,
made 1900 years ago without computers or calculators.No architect today would be able to do something similar with the technologies of that time.These phenomena had a precise symbolic meaning that we understood thanks to Archaeoastronomy.
After seeing them in real life you can discover their secrets in our book
"Pantheon. Architecture and Light", also in English language, published by Rirella Editrice.
It tells the thousand-year history of the building and reveals the hidden symbols of its magic illuminations.
