San_Pietro_in_Montorio_Rome_Italy_025.tif
Rome. Italy. View through an arched gate entrance of the Tempietto, a small elegant circular Doric columned temple tomb in the Gianicolo or Janiculum Hill. Commissioned by the King of Spain and designed and completed by Bramante in 1502, the classical proportioned temple and Christian memorial is situated in the courtyard of the Chiesa di San Pietro in Montorio and is considered the first great true Renaissance building in Rome. The Temple marks the spot St Paul is mistakenly supposed to have been martyred.
