St Peter

I chose St Peter church because...
when i knew the journal title,
i quickly checked back the history notes that i learnt in foundation year.
The only building that i remember in Baroque era is St Peter.
I think is because of the whole appearance,
the church design was so different.
(i could not imagine how they built and designed it) 

St Peter

Building: Church

Location: Vacation City, surrounded by Rome, Italy
Date: 1546 to 1564 and 1590

The façade of St Peter is an enormous expansion 

of the elements compare with the previous design of church.

The design of St Peter was completed by Gianlorenzo Bernini.

The basic characteristics of Baroque architecture 

may find in St Peter, such as pear shaped domes, 

the façade, large scale ceiling frescoes, 

shell of painting and more.

The most impressive design when I look at St Peter 

was the monumental pizza which in front of the St Peter’s. 

Two huge colonnades reach out from the church to

embrace a huge oval shaped piazza and it expansively 

relates to its environment. 

Besides that, the interiors of church overly ornate and complex.

The gigantic bronze Baldacchino

• Above the main altar under the dome.
• 100 feet high
• as the focus of the church's splendour
• column decorated with vines
• four colossal angels standing guard at the four bracket

The Cathedra Petri

• flying angels and clouds
• supported by four gilded bronze colossal
• a burst of light
