Carriages await tourists outside the portico of the Pantheon. by bajamcmillans On this day in May 2011, the piazza was filled with horses and carriages. When we returned on a rainy day in September 2016, there were no horses or carriages, but the piazza was packed with tourists.

The Pantheon of Rome by bajamcmillans has been continuously used and maintained for about 2000 years. The former Roman temple, now a church, is on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC 14 AD). The present building was a reconstruction by the emperor Hadrian, probably dedicated about 126 AD. It was consecrated as a Christain church in 609 AD.

Symbolic Throne of Saint Peter by bajamcmillans Behind the main alter In St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City. This is an enormous reliquary enclosing the wooden chair accepted as St. Peter’s. Behind and above the throne is the golden mass of heavenly beings surrounding the oval window of light with the dove that represents the Holy Spirit. Of marble, bronze, white and golden stucco. Design and major sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1657-66. In this photo, the throne is framed by the columns of the Baldachin over the Tomb of St. Peter. The Baldachin is also the work of Bernini.
