It is the set for Tom Hanks blockbuster Angels and Demons, the sequel to The Da Vinci Code.
The original book by Dan Brown so infuriated the Catholic Church that the Vatican banned director Ron Howard from filming there.
As a result, Howard and his cast have been forced to relocate to Los Angeles, where set designers are painstakingly recreating a scale model of the Vatican.
The film is set in Rome and two key locations are the churches of Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria. The makers were denied entry to both.
Now Howard is hoping that audiences will not be able to spot the real from the fake when Angels and Demons is released next year. They have also used the former Royal Palace at Caserta, near Naples, as a double for the Vatican interior.
The film sees Hanks reprise his role as Harvard professor Robert Langdon. This time he is on a mission to save the Vatican from destruction
Declaring the ban, Father Marco Fibbi, a Vatican spokesman, said: "Usually we read the script but in this case it wasn't necessary. Just the name Dan Brown was enough. Angels and Demons peddles a type of fantasy that damages our common religious beliefs, just like The Da Vinci Code did."
The Catholic Church previously described The Da Vinci Code as "a pot pourri of nonsense, a phantasmagorical cocktail of inventions".
Angels and Demons co-stars Ewan McGregor and Stellan Skarsgard.
During shooting in Rome earlier this year, Hanks won widespread admiration when he halted filming to escort a passing bride to her wedding at the Pantheon.

This is my favorite tool, I try to use it as often as possible. Since I broke my prototype flash bracket I'm making another one out of steel instead of aluminum. I'm hoping I'll be able to get enough light to add another set of extension tubes into the mix.

The Angler Fish is conical and tapers towards the back.
It has a wide mouth and its jaws are full of sharp teeth.
The Angler Fish lives in deep waters, dependant on the sea bed. It walks on the sea bed using its anterior and abdominal fins like feet.
It swings the long spike on its head like a fisherman's line and catch small fish.

The Angle Vale Bridge is the largest and best example of the three historic arch bridges remaining in Australia. All are in South Australia.
Using technology originally imported from Europe and America, laminated arch bridges were constructed in many Australian colonies from as early as 1853. In South Australia, the first were built in 1856. In these early bridges, the laminations for the arches were laid up horizontally and then bolted at regular intervals. Fabricated from both imported softwood and local hardwood, the arches were cheap but they had a service life of only 12 to 16 years. Water penetrated between the laminations where it was retained and the timber quickly rotted.
By 1873, reflection on the causes of this rapid deterioration and improved working knowledge of Australian hardwoods saw the arches built from laminations of the most durable local timbers laid up vertically. Also, the more exposed outside arches were protected with sheet metal caps. These refinements increased the service life of arch bridges to over 40 years but this was not to be enough. The arches were still difficult to maintain and when one failed, the whole bridge had to be replaced. After 1880, iron bridges superseded timber arch bridges in South Australia while in other states, more easily maintained parallel chord timber truss bridges dominated. Arches were not widely used for timber bridges again until after 1975.
The Angle Vale Bridge was constructed for a cost of £2,800 and was built between February and November, 1876. Though there were plans to replace it in 1938, it remained in service till 1966 when it was converted into a footbridge. In 1987, The City of Munno Para received grants for the conservation of the bridge and the landscaping of its surrounds. This was completed in 1988.

Wendy is using our angle grinder to lop off the ends of the arches.
When we designed the dome it was around the maximum length of the
rebar that we get locally which is 20'. The outer arch uses a full
stick of rebar while the inner has about 15" left over. We recently
found out that there are very thin carbide wheels for angle grinders
which can easily cut through rebar. We had been using the fat wheels
which are good for grinding down messy welds, but terrible for
cutting steel.
