Mass in Pantheon

Hello,

I have been trying to get information from the Pantheon about attending a Saturday evening 17.00 Mass there, but to no avail. I know that advance reservations are now required for weekend visits, but does this apply to churchgoers as well? The last time slot for reservations on Saturdays appears to be 15.00, but Mass is at 17.00, and the website says that closing time is 19.00. Is it possible to explore the Pantheon, and then remain for Mass - or to attend Mass, and then explore the Pantheon? If I purchase a reservation for 15.00, will I be allowed to enter around 16.00, walk around the building, and then attend Mass? Any insight would be much appreciated - thank you for your help!

Interesting. Even the official website gives conflicting information.

The Basilica is open all days from 9.00 am to 7.00 pm (last entry 6.30
pm)

Then half way down the news page is:

To visit the Pantheon on weekends and public holidays it is necessary
to book the visit here at least one day in advance. Admission is free
from Monday to Friday.

Then clicking through on the (hidden) link goes to https://pantheon.cultura.gov.it/en/
and gives exactly the same info as above.

Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will come along soon.
