The Pope was not a man to take advice or make concessions.

Accordingly, turning a deaf ear to these entreaties, he had plans prepared by Giuliano da San Gallo and Bramante.

Those eventually chosen were furnished by Bramante; and San Gallo, who had hitherto enjoyed the fullest confidence of Julius, is said to have left Rome in disgust.

For reasons which will afterwards appear, he could not have done so before the summer months of 1506.
It is not yet the proper time to discuss the building of S.Peter's.
Still, with regard to Bramante's plan, this much may here be said.

It was designed in the form of a Greek cross, surmounted with a huge circular dome and flanked by two towers.
