Donato Bramante built the Tempietto in the cloister of San Pietro in Montorio, and the article gives completion as about 1502. Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile commissioned it. It is a martyrium marking the spot traditionally held to be where Saint Peter was crucified. The article calls it High Renaissance and gives no dimensions.
The plan is circular, in bearing masonry. Slender Tuscan columns carry a Doric-derived entablature modeled on the Theatre of Marcellus, under a dome. The article calls it the earliest Renaissance example of the Tuscan order.
Bramante planned concentric rings of colonnade around it, aligned radially with the columns. They were never built. The article names no owner and gives no visiting details.
