The sacred fulcrum of Catholicism, the sumptuous basilica of St. Peter’s, attracts pilgrims from all over the world to the Vatican City

Built under Constantine in 324 A. D. on the tomb of the apostle Peter, who was buried in 64 A. D. after being crucified, in this part of Rome destined for the Arena of Nero, the church was demolished in the XV century as it was deemed unsafe and then rebuilt until it was definitively consecrated in 1626.
