The Panopticon was the main room of the Capitol on Gallifrey. The Eye of Harmony was secretly kept under the Panopticon. (DW: The Deadly Assassin) The Panopticon had six sides, as that number was revered on Gallifrey. (EDA: The Ancestor Cell) When Gallifrey's suns shined on the Panopticon, the interior would shine turqouise. (EDA: The Tomorrow Windows)

The name panopticon was likely derived from opticon, the Gallifreyan word for the ancient village meeting place. (DWA: Blind Fury)

Out-of-universe, the name derives from Greek, meaning "all seeing".
