Walking through the pantheon and seeing the final resting place of Marie and Pierre Curie was pretty cool to me. The structure alone was impressive in itself.

The fact that they built it in 32 years detracts a little bit from the overall awe that it inspires. But the building is still awe inspiring. Read more right here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panth%C3%A9on,_Paris
