About

This wide architectural photograph by Christopher Pillitz captures St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square in Vatican City during the twilight hour. The monumental neoclassical facade and massive dome are warmly illuminated against a deep blue evening sky. Cobblestone paving in the expansive foreground reflects the warm ambient lighting from streetlamps. The colonnade curves gracefully around the piazza, framing the central Egyptian obelisk.
