St Peter's The home of Catholicism

Piazza San Pietro Rome, Rome 00193 +39 (0)6 48 8991 (Tourist Information) http://www.romaturismo.com/v2/operatoriprofessionali/it/spietro.html

People come by the millions each year to receive the Pope's blessing, traditionally given on Sundays at noon. St Peter's has undergone many transformations since the original Constantine basilica of AD320. The top of its majestic dome (designed by Michelangelo), provides the best vantage point from which to marvel at Bernini's magnificent colonnade surrounding the square, the gilded bronze canopy above the altar and Michelangelo's Pietà. Bramante, Pietro da Cortona and Canova are just a handful of the many other artists who worked together on this monumental basilica's decoration and design. Review © 2009, Wcities
