As you enter and go round in side the basilica you really are totally confused as to where to look . From the top , the celings of the roof, the sides from floor to the ceiling, the flooring it self . Almost every square inch of the huge and vast surfaces have paintings of indescribable beauty by old masters . Every niche has statues , artifacts,objects collected over the ages of tremendous value of antiquity and beauty .No wonder people from all over the world, irrespective of cast, creed or religion , come to see the wonders offered by Vatican . It was heavily crowded when we visited . Keeping up with the group and the crowds between them ensured that I did not have satisfactory photo-op or the viewing.Some photos were taken but on odd occassion the distance from the object was too far for the flash to be effective. Any way what I shot are here for your viewing :-)
