The work was confided to the leading architect of the time <em>Donato Bramante.</em> He managed to remove the old Basilica and to construct foundation of the new building. Later, work was carried on by: <em>Raphael, Giuliano and Antonio da Sangallo, Michelangelo, Della Porta, Maderno, Fontana</em> and <em>Bernini.</em> The work was completed in 1665, with the building of the <em>Bernini's colonnade</em>. The Basilica of St. Peter is the principal church of the Western Christendom and the biggest church in the world. <br/><br/>Acknowledgments: <em>Nada &amp; Anton Sbutega</em> en-us (C) Stevan Kordić stevan.kordic@gmail.com (Stevan Kordić) Tue, 06 Feb 2007 15:44:00 GMT Tue, 06 Feb 2007 17:27:00 GMT Churches Architecture and Structures http://kordics.zenfolio.com/img/s8/v0/p593312997-10.jpg http://kordics.zenfolio.com/p1001999511 120 90 http://kordics.zenfolio.com/p1001999511/e235D3CE5
