St. Peter's Basilica

Saint Peter's Basilica is a spectacular masterpiece of the High Italian Renaissance, Vatican City's heart and a symbol of religious grandeur. Built in the 16th-17th century, this church was supposed to replace the old fourth-century basilica on the same site. There is a lot to see: the tomb of Saint Peter, one of the most influential apostles of Jesus Christ, several sculptures, including Michelangelo's Pietà, and the impressive dome, considered the tallest dome in the world. Being an essential part of the history of Rome, Saint Peter's Basilica is a must-see for Rome visitors.
