Above: the oculus. I couldn't get a good picture of it. If you aren't familiar with the Pantheon, it has a dome that's walls get start thick at the bottom and get thinner at they approach the oculus. The oculus is that hole at the top of the dome that is the only source of light. The construction of this dome somewhat of a marvel. In the panorama below, you can see some of the coffered ceiling.
The statue below is above Raphael's tomb.
This last picture is of St. Peter's from a distance, taken on our walk there. The river is the Tiber.
