The Pantheon is a neoclassical building located in the Latin Quarter of Paris, France. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, but it later became a secular mausoleum and is now the final resting place of many famous French figures.

The Pantheon was designed by the architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot in the mid-18th century, and construction began in 1757. The building was completed in 1790, just after the start of the French Revolution. The Pantheon was later used as a church again, and then as a mausoleum, which it remains to this day.

Inside the Pantheon, visitors can see the tombs of many important French figures, including Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola, Marie Curie, and Louis Braille. The building's most prominent feature is its dome, which is supported by massive columns and features a painting by French artist Hippolyte Flandrin. The Pantheon is also home to a crypt, which contains the remains of more than 70 famous French citizens.
