I don’t like St Peter’s façade

r/

I really don’t like the façade of St Peter’s Basilica made by Maderno. The second floor windows (mezzanine) really throw me off. They have something that make me think of a mcmansion. I think Sangallo’s façade was way better.

    I get what you mean. The second-floor windows on St. Peter’s just don’t vibe, they make it feel kinda off, like, too much going on, not in a good way. Sangallo’s design was way cleaner for sure.

    Ah, Sangallo’s facade! Now that was a real facade. How do you do that little tadpole thing under the c?

    Yeah it’s just a poor attempt by Christians trying to recreate Romes glory from the pagan times.
