St. Peter’s Basilica- Vatican City

Since Vatican City is the home of the pope and the seat of the Catholic church, it only makes sense that it also boasts the largest church in the world: St Peter's Basilica. Commissioned by Pope Julius II as the largest building in Christendom, the basilica was built between 1506 and 1626, with legendary figures such as Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo all present.

Named after the revered saint whose mausoleum lies within, the spectacular Renaissance basilica proudly displays a massive façade and dome, with St. Peter has a colonnade leading to it. Covered in marble, its floors stretch endlessly before your eyes, with breathtaking statues, centuries-old artwork and glittering treasures all on display. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful churches in the world, St. Peter is an architectural masterpiece with incredible works of art for you to enjoy.
