Rome - Day 5

No interesting events lately, so I'm going on with pictures of Rome back in March. The fifth day was dedicated to the St. Peter's Basilica. Strangely I haven't made a single picture of the building from the outside. Neither a picture of the Pieta, the most beautiful piece of art among all the beautiful things inside the basilica. Well, this is Rome, an art overkill...
However here are a couple of pictures from inside in random order:










After spending quite some time inside, listening to the almost 50 descriptions of the audio guide, we climbed the cupola.

Best spot I remember from the visit of this building was the roof. It was surprisingly calm, a very welcome retreat, providing rest, a coffee bar and a shop for religious art and souvenirs, where I bought a Vatican bottle opener :-)
