The Panthéon, from the Classical Greek word for all the gods' is a monument in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France. It stands in the Latin Quarter (Quartier Latin), atop the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, in the center of the Place du Panthéon, which was named after it. The tower was built between 1758 and 1790, from designs by Jacques-Germain Soufflot, at the behest of King Louis XV of France the king intended it as a church dedicated to Saint Genevieve, Paris's patron saint, whose relics were to be housed in the church. Neither Soufflot nor Louis XV lived to see the church completed. |
