St Peters is fucking amazing
I spent a happy day wandering round there and the Sistine chapel

St Peters is probably the most hideous building ever constructed outside Birmingham.
It's like a golden wankfest of obscene wealth and appalling taste. The Raphael stanza and Sistine chapel are awesome but they herd you through like cattle and shuffle you back into the abomination of a cathedral. If it isn't bombed in the next war then humanity is doomed.

edit: and they've hidden the pieta - the only genuinely worthwhile piece of art in the place - into a tiny little dim corner behind a piece of shagged old plexiglass

I see you are in a fine fettle today, Herr Doktor
I liked it, in a mega-Catholic temple of doom kind of way

I suppose if you keep in mind that it's the outrageous evil lair of the ultimate Bond villain then it makes more sense.

It does need a few more sharks and missile batteries I feel
