3Oculus

At the apex of the Pantheon’s dome is the oculus, a circular opening that allows natural light to filter into the building.

The oculus also serves as a ventilation system, helping to regulate the temperature and humidity inside. It is open to the sky, which means that the Pantheon is exposed to the elements, making the fact that it has stood for almost two millennia even more remarkable.
