Tempietto of San Pietro

The Tem­pi­etto (1502) was de­si­gned by Do­nato Bra­mante, one of the grea­test ar­chi­tects of the Ita­lian Re­nais­sance. The buil­ding, with a domed ro­tunda and sur­roun­ded by co­lumns, was com­mis­sio­ned by Fer­di­nand and Isa­bella of Spain to com­me­mo­rate St. Peter's cru­ci­fi­xion. It is lo­ca­ted in Rome, in a con­vent cal­led San Pie­tro in Mon­to­rio.
