Only really wet day of the holiday, with Rome shut with Terrorist training, so we visited St Peter's (so did a lot of other people)

Nave of the church is the biggest in the world

Michelangeo's Pieta

Bernini's 70 foot tall bronze main altar and canopy, directly over St. Peter's tomb

St. Peter's tomb

List of all the Pope's - looking at the dates, some years were not good for them ... like 896/7 and 1555 where they had a few 'turnovers'

Underneath was the crypt and the tombs

And more queues

Nicholas

John Paul I
