Chapter 1736: St. Peter's Basilica

At the same time that Ye Tian and the others walked into St. Peter's Basilica and began to visit the world's largest Catholic church, in Barcelona, Spain, a battle officially began.

The two sides of the fight were five or six mercenaries who had just smuggled into Barcelona and a notorious local gangster in Barcelona.

Those mercenaries come from all over the world, everyone is an elite on the battlefield for the rest of their lives, and they don't know how many people's blood is stained on their hands, and they are all ruthless and unusual!

As for the local gang in Barcelona, they are a rabble, with uneven levels of combat effectiveness, and many of them are only a little stronger than ordinary people.

The result of such a fight can be imagined, and there is no suspense at all.

At the same time, in Marseille, France, which is not too far from Barcelona, and Belgrade, Seville, there are a number of mercenaries with explosive combat effectiveness, who are also smuggled in.

Like the mercenaries who appeared in Barcelona, these two mercenary teams came with a killing mission, targeting a gang in Marseille and a local gang in Belgrade, respectively!

The person who issued this series of killing missions was none other than Ye Tian.

This was his revenge, and the bounty was announced yesterday before he arrived in Rome.

Although everyone in the world knew that he would definitely offer a bounty to hunt down the gangsters who tried to ransack him and hit the gangsters behind the scumbags, no one expected it to be so fast!

Who would have thought that he would launch a retaliatory operation so soon, offering a bounty to hunt down the gangsters behind those scumbags, and with a thunderbolt.

And his bounty is very special, there is no clear price, the amount of the bounty is stated!

That is likely to give people a handle, and it may be bitten by the law enforcement agencies of the relevant countries, and the flow of money will still leave traces.

The reward he gave was three chances, three opportunities to hint at the leakage in the antique art market, and the antique art he bought by the leak must be worth a lot of money!

Anyone who accepts and completes the hunt will get such a chance.

Appear in the same antique art market as him, take his cues, pick up a big leak in the antique art market, and then convert it into money through auctions.

For those mercenaries and killers who lick the blood, this is undoubtedly the perfect mission and the perfect way to reward them.

Because the money earned in this way is clean and clean, it is wealth under the sun, no one can question it, you can use it boldly and with confidence, you don't have to hide it!

Ye Tian didn't have to worry about getting into trouble, he just hinted at it, what evidence could he leave behind, so as to give someone a handle?

As for his eye for antique artworks and his ability to pick up leaks, no one doubts it at all, and it has long been famous, and people all over the world know it.

While the rain of gunfire resounded through Barcelona and turned the city into a battlefield, Ye Tian and the others were visiting St. Peter's Basilica to admire this magnificent church!

Although they had admired it for a while last night, it was night after all, the light conditions were too poor, they didn't look very carefully, and the time was pressing, so they didn't go to many places.

Today is different, there is a time and the light conditions are excellent, so you can enjoy the tour.

St. Peter's Basilica, also known as St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican Basilica.

Originally built by Constantine the Great in 326-333 on the site of St. Peter's Tomb and known as St. Peter's Basilica the Elder, the church was inaugurated in 333.

After more than 1,000 years, the old St. Peter's Church was dilapidated, and in 1503, Pope Julius II decided to rebuild it.

The reconstructed St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of Renaissance art, is a Catholic paolic basilica.

The church was built between 1506 and 1626 over a period of 120 years and became one of the most important symbols of the Catholic Church.

St. Peter's Basilica is of great historical importance in the history of Western art and architecture, and it is regarded as the most outstanding work of Renaissance architecture, unsurpassed!

Covering an area of 23,000 square meters and accommodating more than 60,000 people, the church is centered on a 42-metre-diameter vault with a ceiling height of about 138 metres, with St. Peter's Square and Avenue de la Concorde in front.

Although St. Peter's Basilica is not the 'mother church' of all Catholic churches, nor is it the papal cathedral, it is still regarded as the holiest site of the Catholic Church.

In the process of designing and building St. Peter's Basilica, in addition to the designer Michelangelo, many famous architects and masters of the Italian Renaissance have left their traces here.

These include famous architects and artists such as Bramont, Raphael, Sangaro, and Bernini, such as St. Peter's Grand, which was designed by Bernini.

Due to its ceremonial role, St. Peter's Basilica is one of the famous Catholic pilgrimage sites.

The Pope holds several ceremonies each year, including the number of people inside and outside the temple, and each ceremony is attended by about 15,000 to 80,000 people.

St. Peter's Basilica has strong associations with many events in Catholic history, early Christianity, the Papal States, the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and many more.

In addition to its religious and political importance and influence, St. Peter's Basilica is also a temple of art that countless art lovers will yearn for.

The Renaissance building alone is an unrivalled piece of top-notch antique art, Michelangelo's greatest architectural work, and the result of many great masters.

In addition, there are countless top-quality antique artworks displayed in this church, which is dizzying and intoxicating!

On the left and right sides of the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica, there are two tall and solemn statues, St. Peter and St. Paul, watching every visitor who enters and leaves the church.

Both statues are intricately carved and lifelike, and if their hair and skin are painted in real colors, they may be considered real people!

Entering the church, in the corridor on the right, there is a bronze statue of Michelangelo when he was 23 years old, St. Peter, which can only be admired through glass, but still touches everyone.

The walls and roof of the church are full of murals based on biblical stories, each of which is of great artistic value.

But the most precious antique artwork in St. Peter's Basilica is the sculptures on display.

In addition to Michelangelo's "St. Peter" at the entrance, another masterpiece of Michelangelo, the "Pietà" sculpture, is also displayed here.

Michelangelo was very fond of the religious subject of the Pietà, and created many works on this theme in his life, including sculptures, paintings, and frescoes!

But one of the most outstanding pieces of the Pietà is the sculpture on display in St. Peter's Basilica.

In addition to Michelangelo's sculptures, there is also a bronze canopy designed and carved by Bernini.

It is supported by four spiral bronze columns, as tall as a five-story building, with 99 permanent lamps permanently lit on a semicircular balustrade in front of the canopy, and the Apostolic Altar and St. Peter's tomb below.

Only the Pope can ascend to this altar and celebrate Mass in front of pilgrims in the face of the rising sun.

Another heavyweight antique work of art is St. Peter's Throne, also by the master artist Bernini, a gilded bronze throne.

Of course, the most spectacular view of this church is the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo himself, which claims to be the largest in the world.

Standing under this dome and looking up, you will feel how small everything in the church seems and you will be completely blown away by Michelangelo's amazing talent!

Although they had visited the largest church in the world last night, but when they walked in here again today, Ye Tian and the others still felt very shocked, and they couldn't help but stop and start to appreciate it carefully!
