Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1736 St. Peter's Basilica

Just as Ye Tian and the others walked into St. Peter's Basilica and began to visit the largest Catholic church in the world, a fight officially kicked off in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

The two sides in this fight were five or six mercenaries who had just smuggled into Barcelona, ​​and a notorious local gang in Barcelona.

Those mercenaries come from all over the world, and each of them is a battlefield elite who has survived a hundred battles. They have blood on their hands, and they are all ruthless and tough!

As for the local gang in Barcelona, ​​it is a gang of mobs with uneven levels of fighting power, many of which are only a little stronger than ordinary people.

The result of such a fight can be imagined, there is no suspense at all.

At the same time, in Marseille, France, which is not too far from Barcelona, ​​and Belgrade in Seville, a group of mercenaries with explosive combat effectiveness appeared, and they also came here by smuggling.

Like the mercenaries who appeared in Barcelona, ​​these two mercenary teams also came with killing missions. The targets were a gangster in Marseille and a local gangster in Belgrade!

It was none other than Ye Tian who issued this series of killing missions.

This is his act of revenge. Before he arrived in Rome yesterday, the bounty was announced.

Although everyone in the world knew that he would definitely offer rewards to kill those gangsters who tried to rob him, and hit the gangsters behind those scumbags, but no one expected it to be so soon!

Who could have imagined that he would launch a revenge operation so soon, offering rewards to hunt down and kill the gangsters behind those scumbags, and with a thunderbolt method.

Moreover, his reward is very special, there is no price tag, and the amount of the reward is stated!

That is very likely to give someone a handle, and it may be bitten by the law enforcement agencies of the relevant countries, and the money flow will still leave traces.

The reward he offered was three chances, three chances to hint at leaks in the antique art market, and the antique artworks bought by leaks must be worth a lot of money!

Anyone who accepts and completes the killing mission can get such an opportunity.

Appear in the same antique art market as him, accept his hints, pick up a big leak in the antique art market, and then convert it into money through the auction.

For those mercenaries and killers who are licking blood, this is undoubtedly the most perfect mission and the most perfect way to offer rewards.

Because the money earned in this way is clean, it is wealth under the sun, no one can doubt it, and it can be used boldly without any need to hide it!

Ye Tian doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble, he just hinted, what evidence can he leave behind, so as to give someone a handle? With this method of payment, no one can do anything to him!

As for his vision for looking at antiques and his ability to pick up leaks, no one doubts him at all. He has long been famous, and people all over the world know it.

When the dense rain of gunfire rang through Barcelona, ​​turning that city into a battlefield, Ye Tian and the others were visiting St. Peter's Basilica, admiring this magnificent church!

Although they enjoyed it here for a while last night, it was night after all, the lighting conditions were too poor, they didn't look carefully, and time was tight, so they didn't go to many places.

Today is different, there is plenty of time, and the light conditions are excellent, so you can visit as much as you want.

St. Peter's Basilica, also known as St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Basilica.

The church was originally built by Constantine the Great in 326-333 on the cemetery of St. Peter, known as the Old St. Peter's Basilica and inaugurated in 333.

After a long time of more than a thousand years,

The original old St. Peter's Church was dilapidated. In 1503, Pope Julius II decided to rebuild the church.

The reconstructed St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of Renaissance art, is a Catholic temple.

The church was built from 1506 to 1626, which lasted a full 120 years, and became one of the important symbols of the Catholic Church after its completion.

In the history of Western art and architecture, St. Peter's Basilica has an extremely important historical position. It is regarded as the most outstanding work of Renaissance architecture, second to none!

The church is huge, covering an area of ​​23,000 square meters and can accommodate more than 60,000 people. In the center of the church is a dome with a diameter of 42 meters and a ceiling height of about 138 meters. St. Peter's Square and Avenue de la Concorde are in front of it.

Although St. Peter's Basilica is not the 'mother church' of all Catholic churches, nor is it the Pope's cathedral, it is still considered the holiest site of the Catholic Church.

In the process of designing and building St. Peter's Basilica, in addition to the designer Michelangelo, many famous architects and art masters of the Italian Renaissance left their traces here.

This includes famous architects and art masters such as Bramante, Raphael, Sangallo, and Bernini. For example, St. Peter's Square was designed by Bernini.

Due to its ceremonial role, St. Peter's Basilica is one of the famous Catholic pilgrimage sites.

The Pope holds several ceremonies here every year, including the number of people inside and outside the temple. Every time a ceremony is held, about 15,000 to 80,000 people will participate, and the scene is very grand.

St. Peter's Basilica has strong associations with many events in Catholic history, early Christianity, the Papal States, the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and more.

In addition to its important position and great influence in the religious and political fields, St. Peter's Basilica is also a temple of art, which has attracted countless art lovers.

This Renaissance-style building itself is an unparalleled top-level antique work of art, the greatest architectural work of Michelangelo, and embodies the efforts of many art masters.

In addition, there are countless top-level antique artworks displayed in this church, which are dizzying and intoxicating!

On the left and right sides of the entrance of St. Peter's Basilica, there are two tall and solemn statues, namely the statues of St. Peter and St. Paul, watching every visitor entering and leaving the church.

These two statues are both made by famous masters. The carvings are delicate, lifelike, and lifelike. If their hair and skin are painted with real colors, they might be regarded as real people!

Entering the church, in the corridor on the right is Michelangelo's 23-year-old work, the bronze statue of "St. Peter". Although people can only appreciate it through the glass, it still impresses everyone.

On the walls and roof of the church, there are murals with the theme of "Bible" stories everywhere, each mural is from the hands of famous artists, and its artistic value is extraordinary.

But the most precious antique artworks in St. Peter's Basilica are the sculptures displayed here.

In addition to Michelangelo's "St. Peter" at the entrance, there is another masterpiece of Michelangelo, the sculpture of "Pieta".

Michelangelo loved the religious theme of the Pieta very much, and created many works on this theme throughout his life, including sculptures, paintings, and murals!

But the most outstanding piece of "Pieta" is this sculpture displayed in St. Peter's Basilica.

In addition to sculptures by Michelangelo, there is also a bronze canopy designed and sculpted by Bernini.

It is supported by four spiral copper columns and is as high as a five-story building. The semicircular railing in front of the canopy is always lit with 99 ever-burning lamps, and below it is the Pope's altar and St. Peter's tomb.

Only the pope can climb onto this altar, face the rising sun, and hold mass in front of pilgrims.

There is another heavyweight antique artwork here, the throne of St. Peter, also made by the art master Bernini, which is a gilded bronze throne.

Of course, the most spectacular view in this church is the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo himself and known as the world's largest dome.

Standing under this dome and looking up, you will feel that everything in the church is so small, and you will be completely shocked by Michelangelo's amazing talent!
