St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City
The square is framed by a large colonnade that extends from the basilica and then opens into a large, curved shape that surrounds the main piazza. The colonnade comprises 284 large, unfluted columns and 88 pilasters. The simplicity of the columns is intended to direct the eyes of the viewer to the front of the basilica. The space and structures of St Peter’s Basilica are an example of counter-reformation architecture. The colonnade and square were built in such a way as to welcome followers back to the church following the protestant reformation, which had begun in 1517. According to Bernini, the colonnades that extend from the basilica and surround the square are said to be “the motherly arms of the church,” which reach out to embrace the faithful and bring people back to the church.
