The piazza of St. Peters was laid out in the 17th century as a place for the Christians of the world to gather. It is bordered by two semi-circular colonnades, each of which is made up of 4 doric columns. Above there are 140 statues of saints.
Above the columns in the photo are the Pope's offices, it is also here that he stands to give an audience to the people in the square. | source virtualtourist.com
