Description: The monumental elliptical square of St. Peter is undoubtedly the masterpiece of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, designed and built between 1657-1667, during the pontificate of Alexander VII and of Clement IX. The facade of St Peter, designed by Carlo Maderno and built between 1608 and 1612, is huge; it measures 118 by 48 meters (387 by 157 feet). The eight massive columns of the facade are almost 10ft wide and 90 feet high. |
