Hi friends, last June and July is a long….long.. holiday. Of cours a lot of us were went vacation with family or friends. Some of us were went aboard, went to other city or just stay at home. Maybe you have dreaming about perfect holiday. Going to romantic place or a wonderful place. Me too. I want to share my dream perfect holiday.
People usually said a lot of way to Rome. For me that words inspire me about a perfect holiday to Rome. A lot of way to Rome means I can go there in a lot of way. But I don’t know which way can make me go there. OK! Now we are not discus about the way to Rome which a lot. We are discussing about Rome it self.
Rome is a historical place. No other city in the world equals the history of the Eternal City. Founded more than 2700 years ago, the city of Rome reigned as the Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World.Monumental buildings like the Pantheon and the Colosseum are reminiscent of the era when emperors like Nero, Trajan and Hadrian ruled the Roman empire.But todays Rome owes much of its attractiveness to the Renaissance period when new squares like the Campidoglio were developed and new buildings were constructed. The most famous of these buildings is the largest church in the world, the Saint Peter's Basilica. You see? Rome is wonderful right?
First I want to tell you about my favorite place, Basilica St. Peter. It is located in Vatican City, across the river Tiber, west of Rome's center. Vatican City is completely surrounded by the city of Rome.
The current location of St. Peter's Basilica is the site of the Circus of Nero in the first century AD. After Emperor Constantine officially recognized Christianity he started construction (in 324) of a great basilica in this exact spot, which had previously b
een a cemetery for pagans as well as Christians.
In the mid-15th century it was decided that the old basilica should be rebuilt. Pope Nicholas V asked architect Bernardo Rossellino to start adding to the old church. This was abandoned after a short while, but in the late 15th century Pope Sixtus IV had the Sistine Chapel started nearby.
St. Peter's Squarea lot of thing you have to see here. First is St. Peter's Square (Piazza San Pietro), designed by Bernini and built between 1656 and 1667. There are two beautiful fountains in the square, the south/left one by Carlo Maderno (1613) and the northern/right one by Bernini (1675).
Exterior, the dome of St. Peter's was designed by Michelangelo, who became chief architec
t in 1546. The facade is topped by 13 statues in travertine. From left, the statues represent: Thaddeus, Matthew, Philip, Thomas, James the Elder, John the Baptist, Christ the Redeemer (in the center), Andrew, John the Evangelist, James the Younger, Bartholomew, Simon and Matthias. St. Peter's statue in this set is inside. Two clocks are on either side; the one on the left is electrically operated since 1931, with its oldest bell dating to 1288. The northernmost door is the Holy Door, in bronze by Vico Consorti (1950), which is by tradition only opened for great celebrations such as Jubilee years. The Door of Dea
th is the far left door into the basilica. Its name derives from its traditional use as the exit for funeral processions as well as its subject matter.
Interior, about all of the wonderful statue, the picture and the hall. It’s very impressing. You can’t imagine how the ancient artisant made them.
The most important one to me is the Confessio. At the foot of the baldacchino and papal altar is the sunken Confessio, a 17th-century chapel named in honor of the confession of St. Peter th
at led to his martyrdom here. The Confessio is better seen from the crypt (or Grottoes) below, where there is a glass wall looking into it. That’s a little information about Basilica St. Peter. A lot of place you still can found there like Coliseum, Theater of Marcellus, castle St. Angelo, Trevi Fountain and ecetra. Hope you can enjoy your holiday…..
