If it rains

Palazzo Altemps (Museo Nazionale Romano)Ponte / Piazza Navona · Pair it with Piazza Navona: two minutes away, and the courtyard and loggia are calm even when the piazza is packed.Museo dell'Ara PacisCampo Marzio · Go on a grey or rainy morning: the glass hall is bright, and the carved procession of Augustus' family is at eye level.
PantheonPigna · The largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built, lit only through its open oculus. Go at opening, before the groups, and watch the disc of sunlight travel across the coffers.
