Photograph by David Coleman. The Panthéon in Paris stands as one of France's most significant architectural and cultural monuments. Located in the 5th arrondissement atop the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, this imposing neoclassical structure was designed by architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot at the request of King Louis XV, who commissioned it in 1744 to fulfill a vow made during his illness. Construction began in 1758 but wasn't completed until 1790, by which time the French Revolution had begun transforming the nation. The building's function shifted accordingly—originally intended as a church dedicated to Paris's patron saint, Geneviève, it was converted in 1791 into a mausoleum to honor distinguished French citizens. The Panthéon features a grand portico of Corinthian columns supporting a triangular pediment, all modeled after the classical Roman Pantheon. Its imposing dome rises 83 meters high, while inside, the vast space is adorned with paintings depicting scenes from French history. Since the French Revolution, the building has alternated between religious and secular functions, but since 1885 has served primarily as a secular temple. Today it houses the remains of notable figures including philosophers Voltaire and Rousseau, writers Victor Hugo and Émile Zola, scientists Pierre and Marie Curie, and resistance fighters from World War II, embodying France's motto of "Aux grands hommes, la patrie reconnaissante" (To great men, the grateful homeland).
