The Paul VI Audience Hall is a building in Italy mostly in Rome but partially in vatican City but the Italian part of the building is an ex-territorial area of the Holy See used by the Pope as an alternative to Saint Peter’s Square for conducting his Wednesday morning General Audience.The building, with a seating capacity of 6,300, was designed in reinforced concrete by the Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi and completed in 1971. One of the more arresting features of the hall is the twenty-meter-wide brass and bronze sculpture La Resurrezione (“The Resurrection”) by Pericle Fazzini.
