Description
View of an exterior wall at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Italy. "Pope Julius II commissioned Bramante to build a new basilica. This involved demolishing the Old St Peter's Basilica that had been erected by Constantine in the 4th century ... Bramante did the first plan for the new church. He proposed an enormous centrally planned church in the shape of a Greek cross enclosed within a square with an enormous dome over the center, and smaller domes and half-domes radiating out,"--by Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker, KahnAcademy website.
