It replaced an older structure of the same name,  which Leone Battista Alberti and Bernardo Rossellino had partially reconstructed after it had more or less fallen to ruin in the 15th century. A medal engraving from 1506 shows this structure's original plan of a semi-circular stepped dome above a shallow drum, a plan to which architects as Fra Gioconde and Raphael initially stuck. Under the wishes of Pope Paul V, however, Carlo Maderno altered Bramante's original idea by adding a nave to form a Latin cross instead of a Greek one, as had been the original plan. FTP, name this church which saw its reconstruction once planned by Michelangelo, and which is traditionally considered the burial place of the first pope.
