Pantheon light in October 2027

Short answer: On 15 October 2027: At its lowest (13:00) the sun disc is on the dome above the entrance (north) side, about 26 m up; book the 12:15 slot. Every day of October is in the table.

The only light inside the Pantheon comes through the open oculus at the top of the dome. The sun turns it into a disc of light that slides across the coffered dome, down the walls and, around midday in late spring and summer, onto the marble floor.
