The Wonders

Saint Peter: the magnificent Christianism’s cradle and beauty trunk

Saint Peter’s Square (Piazza San Pietro) is the Christianism’s cradle. In front of the church, there is the Vatican Obelisk made of red granite over 25 metres high

An aerial picture of Saint Peter’s Square in all its magnificence

The actual structure of Saint Peter’s Square is due to Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The major point in the reorganization was to underline the centre, not only the Square’s one but of the Christianity itself

The statue of Saint Peter looks down to the Church that was consecrated to him

An aerial view of Saint Peter’s Square, road of the Conciliation (via della Conciliazione) which leads to the Mausoleum of Adrian (Castel Sant’Angelo)

In this photo the ancient district “Spina di Borgo” still existed. It was destroyed in 1936 in order to obtain an empty space between the Church and the Mausoleum of Adrian. In the created space was born the road of the Conciliation
