The Dome
-
When Michelangelo designed a dome to span St Peter’s massive transept, he made it 42 m (138 ft) in diameter, in deference to the Pantheon’s 43.3-m (142-ft) dome. You can ride an elevator much of the way, but must still navigate the final 330 stairs between the dome’s inner and outer shell to the 132-m-high (435-ft) lantern and sweeping vistas across the city.
