Baptistery chapel inside basilica

High Resolution JPEG Picture of The baptistery chapel inside the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore (Basilica of Saint Mary Major), located between the Rione Monti (Monti district) and the Rione Esquilino (Esquiline district), in the historic heart of Rome. This chapel, built in 1605 by Flaminio Ponzio, is decorated with a bas-relief (on the bottom) by Pietro Bernini, father of the famous Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, with a baptismal font in the center made by the Roman goldsmith Luigi Valadier (1726-1785), with a statue of St. John the Baptist. Inside the Basilica, founded by Pope Sixtus III in 432 in the early Christian era and subsequently expanded over the centuries in Romanesque and Baroque style, there is the famous Pauline Chapel and the tomb of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. According to tradition the ceiling of the Basilica was rebuilt in 1443 with the first gold arrived from the Peru and donated to the Roman Church by the King Philip IV of Spain. In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Super wide angle image in high definition format.
