Bernini's Spot

One of the facts we learned from Julia's presentation was that Bernini designed the colonnade that surrounds the entrance to St. Peter's Square. The colonnade forms an oval, and there is one particular spot in the square that Bernini had marked where one can stand and the three rows of columns in the colonnade appear as though there is just one row of columns. This photo was taken at Bernini's spot.
