Brilliant! One footnote (literally): there were only three or four steps to the entrance originally; the street level was later lowered and that required additional steps which today consequently have more emphasis than Bernini intended.

Possibly one of the greatest examples of architecture in the world.

Fabulous analysis of this spectacular church. Thank you 💖

Wow. The first view of the interior knocked my socks off, lol.
I'm in love with the colored pillars (of all things)... But this is yet another place I could get lost in.

Guillaume Courtois was the painter it should be noted.

[@charlesscribneriii7587]

Ferrus91 yes, Bernini used him often to execute his ideas: the composition was designed by Bernini himself.

Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?) A star. A star. Dancing in the night with a tail as big as a kite. Did you see that, Brother?
