Works modeled on, or inspired by, the Pantheon
The Rotunda designed by Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia.
As the best-preserved example of an Ancient Roman monumental building, the Pantheon has been enormously influential in Western architecture from at least the Renaissance on; starting with Brunelleschi's 42-metre dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, completed in 1436.
Versions include the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Ariccia by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1664), which followed his work restoring the Roman original, Belle Isle House (1774) in England, and Thomas Jefferson's library at the University of Virginia, The Rotunda (1817–26). There is also the 19th-century Rotunda of Mosta in Malta.
