... at St. Peters.
Inside the lower dome, visitors can walk around part of the lower dome. This is a capture of the view looking up with my phone.
Right at the top here, around the inside base of the dome lantern are inscribed: S PETRI GLORIAE SIXTUS PP V A MDXC PONTIF V; or "To the glory of Saint Peter, Pope Sixtus V, in 1590 the fifth year of his pontificate"
This is surrounded by a circle of star studded blue sky.
Saint Peters Basilica, Rome; July 2019
