Located directly in front of the high altar of St. Peter's and below Bernini's magnificent Baldacchino, Maderno's "Confessio" is an architectural stage that allows the faithful to revere the remains of St. Peter. It consists of a beautiful marble balustrade, nearly 100 perpetually burning oil lamps and a double staircase leading down to the chapel of St. Peter's remains.
