San Pietro in Montorio, Rome 1500

Donato Bramante's San Pietro in Montorio, built in 1500, is a striking example of High Renaissance architecture. The church's facade, characterized by its simple, symmetrical design and restrained ornamentation, showcases Bramante's mastery of classical forms. The central roundel, reminiscent of Roman temple openings, adds a touch of elegance, while the robust stonework conveys a sense of permanence. This structure, a testament to Bramante's architectural genius, stands as a significant landmark in Rome's artistic landscape.
