Interior of the Pantheon dome

What amazes me about this building is not just that it's been in continuous use for 2000 years, but that it has a big freaking hole in the roof that lets rain in. I mean, common sense tells you that if you want a building to last, you don't put a hole in the roof, but in this case common sense is apparently wrong.
