The alter, canopied by Bernini - known as the Baldacchino is the grand centerpiece of St. Peter's Basilica. While it seems some don't care much for this creation by Bernini, we find it impressive, unique, enjoyable and memorable - A structure that has always stood out for us during visits to St. Peter's Basilica.
Its a bit difficult to see...

Bernini left such an hesitance to us with that "ciboria" and the faces of the woman during the conception of life are such a revolutionary idea for those times.
