Street scene, Vatican City, Italy.
Focus on buildings. In the back, St. Peter's Basilica. The splendid square and colonnade, Bernini's finest work, form a superb entryway to the greatest church of Christendom, dominated by the magnificent Dome of Michelangelo. The construction of this basilica, plagued by numerous obstacles and problems, was carried out by Michelangelo, Giacomo della Porta and Domenico Fontana. The basilica rises over the foundations of a paleochristian Church, which, according to tradition, was built over the tomb of the Martyred Apostle Peter. ***** Vaticancity Vatican-city atmospheric atmospherical shadow-play streets roads dynamical hustle and bustle on the move persons tourists medium group of people medium- group sightsee sightseer worth a visit observing musea skies places place scene scenes cultural cultures cities classicism classical classically May marble granite sculptural pillar pillars grey gray tone European Europe Europa European Union European-Union EU conservate conservation issues problem issue arts&crafts columns creation style impressive daylight touristic touristical touristy travel-industry issues lightplay light-play play of light and dark spot-light color colour colors colours photograph photo picture image photographs photos
