omer short answer

I’m working on a english discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

In one paragraph, identify and describe two characteristics of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome that were intentionally designed to reflect its history and purpose as the home of the Catholic church. You can include details about the location, design, and decoration of the church (interior and exterior) and piazza that serve these purposes.

In a second paragraph, reflect how these two characteristics work to address the goals of the Counter-Reformation in the Catholic church, namely using art and architecture to “spread the prestige and teachings of the Church.”
