What you'll see
A temple nearly 2,000 years old, with a vast concrete dome and an open hole (the oculus) at the top. When it rains, water falls straight through onto the floor.
A brief history
It was first built under Augustus and rebuilt under Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. It became a church in AD 609, a big reason it survived so well.
