Chapter 391: Spoiled

"The church here can be traced back to the time of Constantine the Great, who, after recognizing the legitimacy of Christianity, built a chapel here in 326 AD to commemorate Peter, and has since undergone many renovations and expansions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

St. Peter's Basilica was completely demolished and rebuilt during the reign of Pope Julio II, and was completed from 1506 to 1626.

During this period, the wisdom of many top architects such as Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Bernini was condensed.

Bramante, who was invited by Giulio II to design the original architectural plan, was in charge of construction for only eight years before he and Pope Giulio II died.

The new pope invited Raphael to continue the construction, but the young artistic genius also died young after six years as chief architect of the church.

After that, the church project was presided over by Paluzi and Sangalo Jr. for more than ten years, but the project did not make great progress.

In 1547, Michelangelo, who was already in his prime, was pleased to accept the order, and he made some adjustments to the original design, changing the Romanesque semicircular vault of the church to a large vault in the form of arched ribs, making the visual effect of the church more grandiose.

Due to the magnitude of the project, Michelangelo did not see what his design of St. Peter's Basilica would look like, and 17 years later, at the age of 89, he was called away by God. However, the architects who succeeded him faithfully carried out his design, and the St. Peter's Basilica we see was designed by Michelangelo.

In 1626, Pope Urban VIII inaugurated St. Peter's Basilica.

In fact, St. Peter's Basilica was only completed at that time, and after that, Bernini spent more than 20 years decorating the interior and exterior before it became the St. Peter's Basilica we are about to see. ”

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "The history of St. Peter's Basilica is like this. If you want to continue to listen to history and Catholic knowledge, you can rent a docent to listen, I see that the content of the docent is very long on the Internet, and many of them introduce the historical background of Catholicism, I am not ready to rent it. If my sisters are going to rent it, I'll rent it for you later. ”

Xu Qing shook her head and said, "I don't rent it either." Just go in and see it. ”

Liu Tao said with a smile: "I am also ready to directly feel the shock of this most cathedral in the world." ”

Zhang Kaili said: "I'm not interested in religion either, just ask my younger brother if I want to know anything later." ”

Zhao Jing nodded and said, "I won't rent it either." ”

Wang Zixuan smiled: "You don't need to save money so much. Rent two at a time, and if you want to listen to it, you can listen to it. ”

St. Peter's Basilica was released relatively quickly.

The group waited in line for more than 20 minutes before entering the church.

Accustomed to the domestic market where you have to queue for a few minutes to shop in the supermarket, it is really nothing to come out and play in line for more than 20 minutes.

If when you look at it from the outside, you just feel that St. Peter's Basilica is quite tall, then when you enter the church, everyone is shocked.

The expansive space is filled with resplendent decorations.

The atmosphere of beauty and religion is almost extreme, enough to make people worship.

When many people come in, they can't help but sit down on the benches and pray.

Wang Zixuan and his party didn't believe this, but they were simply shocked by this building. Look at them one by one.

Zhao Jing and Zhang Kaili took the two rented explainers, but soon both of them gave up and threw them to Xu Qing and Liu Tao, and the two of them listened to it for a while and then threw it to Wang Zixuan.

Wang Zixuan didn't bother to listen, so he went directly to return the explainer.

After an hour of visiting the church, five people lined up to take the elevator to the top.

Because of the limited space at the top, it was more difficult to reach the summit than to enter the church, and it took more than 40 minutes to wait in line for five people to take the elevator to the top.

But the elevator only took them half the stairs off.

The stairs at the back are much more difficult to walk than the front ones. The various staircases, coupled with the curved shape of the dome, have sloping walls in many places, and people have to go up sideways.

Except for Wang Zixuan. Everyone else is crawling out of breath.

However, after reaching the top, seeing the whole of the Vatican and Rome at their feet, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Xu Qing opened her arms and embraced the sky. Turning his head to Wang Zixuan, he said, "I especially want to fly in the sky like a bird in a wingsuit like you did on the night of your peak." ”

"Wingsuit flying is too dangerous."

Wang Zixuan smiled and walked behind Xu Qing and hugged Xu Qing's waist. smiled: "Although I can't take you on a flight, I can let you experience the romance of the Titanic." ”

Xu Qing closed her eyes and felt the sky and romance that belonged to the two of them.

Wang Zixuan hugged Xu Qing and looked at Rome City for a while, then let go of Xu Qing and said with a smile: "The show seems to be a little off track." ”

"Bang"

Xu Qing stretched out her hand and knocked on Wang Zixuan's forehead.

"Oh!"

Wang Zixuan glared at Xu Qing and said, "You dare to hit me?" ”

"Bang"

Xu Qing knocked on Wang Zixuan's forehead again and said, "What's the matter?" I'm your sister. ”

Wang Zixuan covered his forehead and said, "Enough!" Can my sister just beat me? ”

"Who told you to hug me?" Xu Qing was not frightened by Wang Zixuan, and said that she reached out and knocked Wang Zixuan again.

Wang Zixuan turned around and ran away: "It's flat!" I haven't asked you to sit on my Titanic's money! ”

Xu Qing wrinkled her nose and said, "Who wants to sit." ”

Wang Zixuan smiled: "Then who just enjoyed it!" ”

Xu Qing glared at Wang Zixuan and said, "I'm scared, okay?" ”

"Then let's go back and broadcast this paragraph, and give you a subtitle to say that Xu Qing was scared."

"Stinky boy, don't run."

"Don't knock me on the head, I won't run."

"Don't run, I'm sure I won't knock."

……

Zhao Jing saw the two of them running on the top, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't run, it's dangerous." ”

Wang Zixuan hid behind Zhang Kaili and smiled at Xu Qing: "I admit my mistake, let's stop playing." ”

Xu Qing glared at Wang Zixuan and said, "For the sake of the eldest sister, I will spare you this time." ”

Wang Zixuan stuck out his tongue and said, "I won't play with you, I'll play with my second sister." Second sister, you play Ruth, and I play Jack. ”

"Okay."

Kelly opened her arms, turned her head to look at Wang Zixuan and said, "Jack." ”

Wang Zixuan hugged Kelly's waist and said, "Ruth." ”

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Kaili smiled and stretched out her hand to Wang Zixuan and shouted, "Jack." ”

Wang Zixuan looked like he was trying to reach forward and said with a smile: "Ruth." ”

Xu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you two here to be funny?" ”

Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "Look at how generous the second sister is, how many people look like some people, she will hit me several times if she hugs me." ”

Xu Qing stretched out her hand and made another knock gesture, and said, "It's like the second sister, I don't spoil you!" (To be continued.) )
