It took quite a while to get the building where it is now. Construction started in 1019, but additions kept taking place through 1500. It was the site of a big fight in the Catholic Church in 1440, when there was a disagreement about who should be the next Pope. A rebel group of sorts got together here and picked Felix V as the new leader - even without proper authority. That made him a counter pope, or an antipope. There were a number of them over the years, but he was the last one on the list.
No, one photo won't do it.
