Via della Conciliazione..The open space which lies before the basilica was redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini from 1656 to 1667, under the direction of Pope Alexander VII, as an appropriate forecourt, designed "so that the greatest number of people could see the Pope give his blessing, either from the middle of the façade of the church or from a window in the Vatican Palace".?Before the construction of the present basilica, the western part of the square was occupied by a large peristyle which gave access to the old building was built by Emperor Constantine.?In the origins, the square used to be the place where Nerone Circus and Gardens where located, and where many Christians, including Saint Peter, suffered from martyrdom.?In 1936 the architects M. Piacentini and A. Spaccarelli started the construction of via della Conciliazione in order to grant to the square a symmetric and monumental entrance; but this caused the destruction of the old Medieval village and of its typical narrow streets, a choice that aroused bitter controversy.

The Piazza Venezia is a piazza in central Rome, Italy. It takes its name from the adjacent Palazzo Venezia, the former embassy in the city of the Republic of Venice.<br />
The piazza is at the foot of the Capitoline Hill and near the Roman Forum. It is dominated by the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II. In 2009, during excavations for the Rome C Metro Line, ancient remains of what has been identified as emperor Hadrian's Athenaeum were unearthed in the middle of the square.

It faces onto the Piazza Navona, one of the main urban spaces in the historic centre of the city and the site where the Early Christian Saint Agnes was martyred in the ancient Stadium of Domitian.<br />
<br />
The rebuilding of the church was begun in 1652 at the instigation of Pope Innocent X whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced onto the piazza and was adjacent to the site of the new church. The church was to be effectively a family chapel annexed to their residence.<br />
<br />
A number of architects were involved in the construction of the church, including Girolamo Rainaldi and his son Carlo Rainaldi, and two of the foremost Baroque architects, Francesco Borromini and the sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini

  • VATICAN CITY, ROMA, ITALY - NOVEMBER, 20: Vatican Illustration.<br />
St. Peter's Basilica.<br />
Vatican City. Located on what was known in antiquity the ager Vaticanus, the banks of the Tiber, and at some distance from the Vatican Mountains, it stands on the former "Imperial Gardens" that were owned by Agrippina.<br />
His son, the emperor Caligula, also built a private circus, Circus Vaticanus, whose obelisk planted in the heart of the Piazza San Pietro is one of its only remnants. In this circus took place the martyrdom of many Christians at the time of Nero.<br />
St Peter was buried in the north of the circus and the Emperor Constantine built a basilica on the grand circus. This building was replaced by the current basilica during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Cité du Vatican. Située sur ce que l'on appelait dans l'antiquité l'ager Vaticanus, aux bords du Tibre, et à quelque distance des Monts Vaticani, elle se dresse sur les anciens« jardins impériaux » qui furent propriété d'Agrippine.<br />
Son fils, l'empereur Caligula , y fit construire un cirque privé, le Circus Vaticanus, dont l'obélisque planté en plein coeur de la Piazza San Pietro constitue un de ses seuls vestiges. Dans ce cirque eut lieu le martyre de nombreux chretiens à l'époque de Néron.<br />
St Pierre fut enterré au nord de ce cirque puis l'empereur Constantin fit édifier une basilique grandiose sur le cirque. Cette edifice fut remplacé par l'actuelle basilique au cours des XVIe et XVIIe siècles.
