The inner diameter of the dome is about 42 meters, covering the entire cathedral. For this big dome, there have been twists and turns for a hundred years, first Bramante designed it in 1506, and Raphael succeeded him after his death in 1514. Six years later, Raphael also passed away. The church borrowed the Gothic design for the top of the church, emphasizing the contrast between darkness and light, and used rose windows. Therefore, out of consideration for the contrast effect of light at the entrance of the church, the round Top was canceled. Michelangelo later took over the job at the age of 71, restoring the dome in the name of "love for God, for the Virgin, and for St. Peter." There are eleven statues on the eaves of the dome. The statue of Jesus Christ is in the middle. There is a clock on each side of the eaves. The right is Greenwich time, the left is Roman time. The big dome is one of the symbols of Rome.

The dome of St. Peter's Cathedral is very famous. There is a sedan chair made of wood under it. It is beautifully decorated. There are many people standing in line to take photos. There are many beautiful sculptures on the dome. Some parts of St. Peter's Cathedral are open and some parts are enclosed.
The solemn dome building, the golden ceiling is said to have used a ton of gold decoration hall decoration atmosphere is magnificent, appears to be high-end elegant top there are a variety of lifelike exquisite meticulous fresco statues, it can be seen that the Italians really took the heart to build to open our eyes.
It's not so easy to enter inside the Saint Peter Cathedral since you need to wait for your turn, always a long line. You are also required to wear appropriate clothes, not sleeveless, not a short pants and a slippers too.
St. Peter's Cathedral is indeed the world's first cathedral. The central dome is designed by Michelangelo. It has a double structure and a bright interior. Under the dome is the Pope's altar, covered with a bronze canopy created by Benini. The twisted, thick, cylindrical shape is striking. There is St. Peter's tomb in the chapel below. In front of the tomb kneels is the image of Pope Yoo VI made by neoclassical sculptor Kanoba. There are pigeons made of stained glass in the upper part, huge "St. Peter's chair" made by Benini under it, and the entrance to the treasure house on the left side in front of them. The luxurious vessels show the power of the Vatican.
The top of St. Peter's Cathedral has been rebuilt many times, and finally Michelangelo has built the present top of the cathedral. There are very beautiful murals on the top and numerous statues around it. The top of the garden can be paid to go upstairs and climb very narrow stairs. It's worth recommending to visit the top.
The dome of St. Peter's Cathedral is 136 meters high. It is the highest dome in the world and the third largest inner diameter building in the world. The dome of the main church hall was designed by Michelangelo, and under it was a bronze canopy. The dome is magnificent and magnificent.
Should be called St. Peter's Hall, the dome is Michelangelo design, tall and magnificent, elevator only 1/3, the rest of the need to climb stairs, narrow spiral, sometimes need to bend sideways through, overlooking the entire Vatican City on the roof, shocking, beautiful.
