ROME: Rome's 2,000-year-old Pantheon started charging for entrance on Monday, with tourists paying 5 euros ($5) to see Italy's most visited cultural site.

The building, one of the Italian capital's oldest and best loved, is currently a consecrated church and part of the proceeds from ticket sales would go to the diocese of Rome and the rest to the Culture Ministry.
