Panoramic shot of the interior of the
Panthéon, a church and burial place located in the
Latin Quarter of
Paris,
France. Originally built as a church dedicated to St.
Genevieve, the
National Convention ordered it to be changed from a church to a mausoleum for the interment of great Frenchmen. Among those buried in its
necropolis are
Voltaire,
Rousseau,
Marat,
Victor Hugo,
Émile Zola,
Jean Moulin,
Marie Curie, and
Louis Braille.
