The Pantheon is held up by 16 granite columns which were hewn out of mountains from ancient Egypt. Each one weighs 96 tonnes and would take 3 people with their hands clasped together to span their circumference. The columns have Corinthian heads and Doric bases with the grey granite in the front and 4 red granite columns beside the entrance. The 3 Columns on the left were destroyed in an earthquake in 13 AD??
