First, ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, and my particular favourite, the Pantheon.
The inscription on the front names Marcus Agrippa, the great general and son-in-law of Augustus, who built the original Pantheon on this site.
The building today was largely constructed later under the emperor Hadrian, and that extraordinary dome, the largest freestanding concrete structure, in the world is still standing 2,000 years later.
