Throne Of St. Peter, St Peter's Basilica, Rome, Italy Stock Photography

Throne of St. Peter, completed in 1666 by Bernini is a much larger symbolic chair that houses the relic, surrounded by large sculptures of the 4 doctors of the church and a towering cloud of bronze angels that bursts out of the columned architecture of the cathedral. The massive work, also in cast bronze, takes up the entire space in the front of St. Peter’s, and is based around a huge stained glass window with a white dove of peace.
