 across St Peter's Square from the cupola of St Peter's Basilica, Rome, 
Italy. Built on what tradition holds is the site of the martyrdom of St 
Peter, the first Pope, St Peter's Basilica replaced a previous basilica 
built by the Emperor Constantine in 324. The current basilica was begun 
in 1506 during the papacy of Julius II and was completed under Paul V in
 1615. The dome, one of Rome's most prominent landmarks, was designed by
 Michelangelo, and completed after his death by his student, Giacomo 
della Porta. St Peter's Square was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and 
built between 1656 and 1667. At the centre of the piazza stands an 
Ancient Egyptian obelisk dating from the 13th century BC, which was 
brought to Rome in the 1st century to stand at the centre of the Circus 
of Nero. *** Local Caption *** View across St Peter's Square from the
