Straight
ahead
,
"
the
pilot
said
,
climbing
higher
.
Langdon
and
Vittoria
looked
out
and
saw
it
.
Like
a
mountain
parting
the
morning
fog
,
the
colossal
dome
rose
out
of
the
haze
before
them
:
St
.
Peter
’
s
Basilica
.
"
Now
that
,
"
Langdon
said
to
Vittoria
,
"
is
something
Michelangelo
got
right
.
"
Langdon
had
never
seen
St
.
Peter
’
s
from
the
air
.
The
marble
façade
blazed
like
fire
in
the
afternoon
sun
.
Adorned
with
140
statues
of
saints
,
martyrs
,
and
angels
,
the
Herculean
edifice
stretched
two
football
fields
wide
and
a
staggering
six
long
.
The
cavernous
interior
of
the
basilica
had
room
for
over
60
,
000
worshipers
…
over
one
hundred
times
the
population
of
Vatican
City
,
the
smallest
country
in
the
world
.
Incredibly
,
though
,
not
even
a
citadel
of
this
magnitude
could
dwarf
the
piazza
before
it
.
A
sprawling
expanse
of
granite
,
St
.
Peter
’
s
Square
was
a
staggering
open
space
in
the
congestion
of
Rome
,
like
a
classical
Central
Park
.
In
front
of
the
basilica
,
bordering
the
vast
oval
common
,
284
columns
swept
outward
in
four
concentric
arcs
of
diminishing
size
…
an
architectural
trompe
de
l
’
oiel
used
to
heighten
the
piazza
’
s
sense
of
grandeur
.
As
he
stared
at
the
magnificent
shrine
before
him
,
Langdon
wondered
what
St
.
Peter
would
think
if
he
were
here
now
.
The
Saint
had
died
a
gruesome
death
,
crucified
upside
down
on
this
very
spot
.
Now
he
rested
in
the
most
sacred
of
tombs
,
buried
five
stories
down
,
directly
beneath
the
central
cupola
of
the
basilica
.
"
Vatican
City
,
"
the
pilot
said
,
sounding
anything
but
welcoming
.
Langdon
looked
out
at
the
towering
stone
bastions
that
loomed
ahead
—
impenetrable
fortifications
surrounding
the
complex
…
a
strangely
earthly
defense
for
a
spiritual
world
of
secrets
,
power
,
and
mystery
.
"
Look
!
"
Vittoria
said
suddenly
,
grabbing
Langdon
’
s
arm
.
She
motioned
frantically
downward
toward
St
.
Peter
’
s
Square
directly
beneath
them
.
Langdon
put
his
face
to
the
window
and
looked
.
