After the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel the tour will walk through St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s most famous church and symbol of the Vatican City, an enclave of Rome. The Basilica is the largest religious building ever built and it remains one of the holiest sites in Christianity.

St. Peter’s Basilica stands on the traditional site where Peter – the apostle who is considered to be the first pope – was crucified and buried. St. Peter’s tomb is under the main altar. Many other popes are buried in the Basilica.

Originally founded by Constantine in 324, St. Peter’s Basilica was rebuilt during 16th century by Renaissance masters including Bramante, Michelangelo and Bernini.
