The roof of the Pope Paul VI auditorium at the Vatican. The cement panels of the 6,300-seat auditorium will be replaced by photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. The auditorium is the first of many Holy See buildings that will start using solar energy, reflecting Pope Benedict XVI's worry about squandering the Earth's resources.
