Coming out of the church, there was a guard on the left side of the church. The chic uniforms they wear have remained unchanged for 500 years, which are said to have been designed by Michelangelo, and the long gordles in their hands are also 15th-century products. Tourists who want to take a photo with the guards will not refuse, but if they want to enter the Palace from here, it will not work.
This is a great building with a thousand-year-old legend, and St. Peter's Basilica, which stands before us, has long since lost the shadow of the Time of Constantine, and during the papal period of Giulio II, it was completely torn down and rebuilt, and the work was completed from 1506 to 1626. This project embodies the wisdom of Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini and many other top architects. First Bramante, who was invited by Giulio II to design the original architectural plan, but he presided over the construction for just 8 years, and he and Pope Giulio II died one after another. The new pope invited Raphael to continue the construction, but the young artistic genius died young after 6 years as chief architect of the church. After that, the church project was presided over by Paruzzi and Sangaro Jr. for more than ten years, but the project did not make much progress. In 1547, Michelangelo, who had passed the age of rarity, gladly accepted, and he made partial adjustments to the original design, changing the Romanesque semicircular vault of the church into a large vault of the arch rib, making the visual effect of the church more magnificent. Due to the sheer size of the project, Michelangelo finally did not see what his design of St. Peter's Basilica would look like after it was built, and 17 years later, at the age of 89, he was called away by God. Thankfully, however, the architects who succeeded him faithfully carried out his designs, and people saw St. Peter's Basilica exactly what Michelangelo wanted to see.
This great building and sacred place in the hearts of the faithful attract people from all over the world, and tourists and pilgrims visit it every day.
People who come here have to wait in line for hours every day to enter this great church.
Fortunately, we came early today, otherwise, at noon, we would still have to queue up in the square. Watching their pain in line under the scorching sun, I was glad I came early this morning.
After visiting the cathedral, I took advantage of the time to wait for the members of the group in the square to take a picture of the portrait.
There are people from all over the world, people of all colors, etc., and at this time, they all enter my mirror.
As a walker who loves photography, you will also like handsome men and beautiful women when taking portraits.
Who said that foreigners don't like to play umbrellas, this is not afraid of hanging umbrellas to queue up.
Even in Europe, it is not easy to see such a beautiful woman. This beautiful woman is the mother of two babies.
This pair of handsome and beautiful women is really very right.
Handsome guy this pose is so cool, another one.
What a perfect match.
A mother and daughter, the eyes are so melancholy.
Visiting this church, there are also girls wearing suspenders involved, I don't know if there will be people at the entrance of the church who will not let you in.
The girl's eyes were also melancholy, why? Could it be that she came here with some kind of heart to pray?
Such a look reminds me of Yushu orphan Arwen, whom I met in 2010 at the Ganzi Yaqing Monastery in Western Sichuan. Ah Wen, who lost his parents in the Yushu earthquake, caught my attention with such a look at Yaqing Temple, and we became "mother and son".
The sisters' looks like this made people look painful.
What kind of mood did these three people behind the sunglasses come here?
Where did you come from with this handsome little fresh meat?
It seems that this is a traveling couple.
Such a handsome guy can't get out of my mirror.
It's a cool guy again, in the mirror.
