Peter was the first pope - church was built literally on top of him (the rock in which church is established) Old st peter"s was torn down around 1503 by pope julius ii (pope from 1503-1513) Pope julius ii commissioned the sistine ceiling, school of athens. Bermonte makes a memorial to peter"s martyrdom - becomes in charge to build the new. First time use of columns - doorway. Bermonte passed away but all he could accomplish before his death was tearing the old. St peter"s and establishing the foundation for the new st. peter"s. Protestant started around the time the pope the fifth borghese at the time was selling indulgences to pay for the new st peter"s. Greek cross was more centralized- looks like a pagan cross.
