The other major churches in Rome, including St Peter's Basilica, are free to visit, but museums and monuments such as the Colosseum are ticketed. Photo: AFPĮngineer Tim Witte, visiting from America, said he thought five euros was a "very reasonable" price. This photograph shows visitors queuing to enter the Pantheon monument in Rome on July 3. The new charge "won't stop many people coming to visit", French visitor Camille Piallat predicted, as he queued to buy his ticket in the sunshine. Minors and Rome residents are exempt from paying. The building, one of the city's oldest and best loved, is currently a consecrated church and part of the proceeds from ticket sales will go towards the diocese of Rome, while the rest will go to the culture ministry. Rome's 2,000-year-old Pantheon started charging for entrance on Monday, with tourists paying five euros (RM25.40) to see Italy's most visited cultural site.
