Collonade of St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, Rome

In 1656, Pope Alexander VII commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to create a square worthy of the majesty of St. Peter’s Basilica. Bernini designed an elliptical piazza, which is embraced on two sides with four rows of imposing Doric columns arranged in a stunning colonnade. In fact, the double colonnades are meant to symbolize the embracing arms of St. Peter’s Basilica, Christianity’s Mother Church.

The Doric order was one of the three orders of ancient Greek and later Roman architecture; the other two canonical orders were the Ionic and the Corinthian. The Doric is most easily recognized by the simple circular capitals at the top of columns. Originating in the western Doric region of Greece, it is the earliest and, in its essence, the simplest of the orders, though still with complex details in the entablature above.

Located on the edge of Rome's historic center, of which it is a symbol, the square is part of the independent state of Vatican City and is bordered by the Italian border. Through the Borgo district to the east, the main entrances are from Via di Porta Angelica or Via della Conciliazione.
