Santa Maria ad Martyres
Santa Maria ad Martyres is the church the Pantheon became in 609, which is why the building survived intact. It is still a working church, so services can close the monument to visitors.
Example
A ticket to the Pantheon does not guarantee entry during Mass, and Sunday mornings are the most common time to find the door closed.
