This Ancient Secret Only Works One Day a Year #shorts #Pantheon #Rome #AncientRome #TravelShorts
Every year on April 21st — Rome's birthday — sunlight beams through the oculus of the Pantheon and illuminates the entrance for just 3 minutes. Emperor Hadrian designed it that way nearly 1,900 years ago so the sun would crown him like a god when he walked through those doors. We were lucky enough to visit the Pantheon on our Mediterranean cruise and captured this incredible place on video. Today is the day this ancient secret comes to life. 🎥 Watch our full Rome & Civitavecchia cruise port guide here: https://youtu.be/9yO80G4SJFA 🎥 Watch our Rome Before Our Cruise video here: https://youtu.be/4SBmizNlVmA 👜 Our best cruise and international travel accessories (This video contains affiliate links.
