> Piazza Del Plebiscito · EST. 1816 · DOME 53 M

Laid out in 1816 and completed in 1846, beneath a dome of fifty-three metres. The Bureau finds thirty years for a public square unremarkable. The church was begun by one sovereign and finished by another, who kept the colonnade and changed its purpose. The dome is held to answer the Pantheon in Rome, at a distance of some seventeen centuries. The Bureau has compared the two entries in its register and declines to rank them, noting that the later one at least had the earlier to consult.
