1/1250s | f6.3 | 27mm | An obelisk stands in the middle of San Peter's Square. The cross on top is claimed by Dan Brown in Angels and Demons to contain "relics of the cross on which Christ was crucified". Ah, Dan Brown, always the one to count on to make things appear more interesting than they really are. In the background, you can see people lining up to enter the basilica.
