Views of St Peter's (1)

I was surprised that visitors were allowed to take photos, as it is unusual in Italian churches. I noticed, as in other places, that it didn't make a difference to the atmosphere. Considering that St Peter's must be the most-visited cathedral in the Christian wold, as well as being the largest, there was a greater feeling of being in a church than in some other places that I have been to. There was no entrance charge for the Basilica, and a chapel set aside for prayer that was being well used for that purpose.
