This place is HUGE, 5.7 acres, and very ornate. I only had one hour to look around, so I didn't get to see the Sistine chapel or a lot of other things they have in the immense museum here, but I did get to see a few things.
This is the ceiling or the portico.
I really wanted to see the Pieta, which I later found out means "pity".
Bernini's baldacchino over the papal altar.
Bernini's last work in St. Peter's Monument to Pope Alexander VII.

We have a lot of the same pictures, but I like some of yours better! I might have to edit my scrapbook! j/k
You are funny, Shell. I edited them on Picasa and lightened a few that way. Picasa also has a button that allows you to upload your pics straight to the blog. You probably know that already:-)
