A view of the masonry that the temple is built of.

The Pantheon, like many buildings in Rome is really masonry (brick) construction, with a thin cladding of Marble. After the sack of Rome, the cladding was removed from many of the standing buildings and used to build new structures. The destruction ofthe buildings of Rome led to so much debris that street level was raised by 13 feet in some places!
