Looking through the keyhole "barrel" to see the garden that perfectly frames the view of St. Peter's Basilica dome in the distance. The garden is lit up by the sunlight coming from above.

The Knights of Malta Keyhole on Aventine Hill is a fairly popular tourist stop- be prepared to wait in line for a while to capture this one. It's also particularly tricky to photograph! #photos #photography #aventinehill #rome #italy #openings #blueskyartshow #keyhole #stpetersbasilica

St. Peter’s Basilica's nave draws your eye toward one of the most dramatic focal points in any church: the soaring gilded ceiling and the monumental bronze baldachin rising over the high altar at the apse end. #blueskyartshow #round #stpetersbasilica #vaticancity #rome #photography #photos #italy

August 2025 — St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican

I’ll never forget the profound awe I felt before St. Peter’s Baldachin, and even more so before Pope Alexander VII’s tomb—both masterpieces by Bernini.

I think this is my most favorite view in Rome. Standing on the Umburto I bridge looking toward Sant’Angelo bridge and Saint Peter’s Basilica in the distance.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1626, the new #StPetersBasilica in #Rome was consecrated, 1300 years to the day since #OldStPetersBasilica was consecrated in 326. The first was begun under Roman Emperor #Constantine I. The replacement was begun under Pope #JuliusII after failed repairs.

Crepuscular rays are seen in St. Peter's Basilica at certain times each day.

What does a building built over so many generations reveal about the values and ambitions of the people who created it?

Yesterday we climbed the stairs to the top of St Peter's Basilica and I got this shot of St. Peter's Square and Vatican City and surrounding Rome.

Was worth the one hour wait to get access to the top of the basilica.

The first time I entered St. Peter's was probably in the mid-1980s. I was completely overwhelmed by the enormity of the Basilica. It is the Largest church on earth. I would highly recommend a visit.
