Description:
|
The façade was built 1606-1614 by Carlo Maderno. The steps leading to it are by Bernini, and the statues of Sts Peter and Paul flanking the steps are from the 19th century. The bell-towers were added a little later, due to difficulties with the foundations. Work on them stopped in 1621, at the death of Pope Paul V. It was resumed some fifteen years later, and completed shortly after. Monumental statues of Jesus Christ and 11 apostols (Saint Peter is missing, since he is burried inside) can be seen on the top of the building.
