Tempietto (English spelling)
It is an Italian word meaning a small temple, and many examples can be found in ancient Rome, but as a proper noun it refers to the circular Martyrdom Memorial in Rome, designed by Bramante. This small chapel, about 14 meters high, was commissioned by King Ferdinand II of Spain and his wife Isabel of Spain and built in 1502 in the courtyard of the S. Pietro in Montorio monastery in Rome, which was believed to be the place where Peter was martyred. It consists of three parts: a crypt, a peripteral sanctuary, and a spherical shell supported by a high drum, which respectively symbolize the hypogeum, the earthly church, and the heavenly church.
