Starting July 3, paid admission to the Pantheon will be triggered. Free admission for Rome residents

The introduction of a pay-as-you-go ticket to visit the Pantheon in Rome will kick in on Monday, July 3. According to the provisions of the agreement signed between the Ministry of Culture and the Chapter of the Basilica of Santa Maria ad Martyres-Pantheon, the entrance fee to the Pantheon Complex will be “no more than 5 euros and will be allowed only outside the hours reserved for liturgical functions and pastoral activities, so that the exercise of worship inside the basilica is safeguarded.”Free admission for residents of the capital is also planned.

This was also mentioned by Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano during his speech at Fenix, the Fratelli d’Italia youth convention in Rome: “Tomorrow will trigger the entrance fee to the Pantheon, the most visited cultural site in Italy with 9 million visitors a year. I have already purchased the ticket, I have it on my cell phone,” he said.

“The citizens of Rome,” the minister added, “will be exempt and 30 percent will go to the Curia, which will allocate part of these funds to charity. Another part will go to the municipality, which is committed to allocating these resources to protect from degradation that square that does not live up to the decorum it deserves.”
