The architecture of the Pantheon is a distinct mark of the influence of imperial architecture. Although designed and renovated in stages, this architectural structure refers to the imperial style but is unique in the sense that it blends other aspects of design together. The Pantheon is a sacred space for all and its size and scale have made it one of the most influential structures left from ancient Rome.

The circular nature is like that of the Knights of the Round Table to illustrate the balance of power conveyed by structural organization. The building, especially the dome, is architecturally revolutionary compared to the historical period. The fact that it is still standing demonstrates the Romans' skill and expertise in designing and creating an atmosphere that could not be built.
