re: Parthenon vs Pantheon

Parthenon easily. It’s massively tall and the design of the dome is incredible. The Pantheon isn’t as impressive, though it’s views are fantastic as the highest point in the city

I've been to both. The dome of Pantheon is amazing. The Parthenon at night sitting up on that hill is beautiful. I'm Greek so of course I'm picking Parthenon.

I'm luck enough to have been to both.
The entire Acropolis and Parthenon was the more impressive structure.
However I got give it up to the Romans and the Catholic Church, the Pantheon is in excellent condition. Plus they have a Ninja turtle and Pope buried inside.

I wish we had color pictures of them. I can only imagine how beautiful they were.

Don’t forget... when you look at the dome of the Pantheon from this inside... it was originally covered in bronze.

The precision of the engineering on the Parthenon is mind boggling for something built almost 2500 years ago.
If each of its 69 columns were extended they would meet at a common point a mile and a half above Athena’s head. The precision is said to be within 1/50th of an inch.
