A Beautiful Site to Behold

Located in Vatican City, a 100-acre country within the city of Rome, St. Peter’s Basilica is one of the holiest temples for Christians and the second largest church in the world. Saint Peter, an Apostle of Jesus, became one of the founders of the Catholic Church, was executed in Rome and buried where the Basilica now stands. Completed in 1626, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture. It took over a century to build and was designed by master artists, including Bramante, Rafael, Peruzzi, Sangallo and Michelangelo.
