Every year, a breathtaking event takes place in Rome’s iconic Pantheon during the Pentecost celebrations. On June 4th, following the 10:30 morning mass, tens of thousands of rose petals are released from the oculus, cascading down the 43-meter drop into the building’s interior. This spectacular tradition symbolizes the Holy Spirit’s descent to Earth and attracts visitors and locals alike, eager to experience the shower of petals in person.

Due to the popularity of the event, attendees are advised to arrive early, with queues starting around 08:00 AM. Space is limited, and once the Pantheon reaches capacity, entry will be closed. This occasion is just one among many unique experiences that Rome offers to people of all ages and interests.
