St. Peter
'The Vatican City, one of the most sacred
places in Christendom, attests to a great history and a formidable spiritual venture. A unique
collection of artistic and architectural masterpieces lie within the boundaries of this small state.
At its centre is St Peter's Basilica, with its double colonnade and a circular piazza in front and
bordered by palaces and gardens. The basilica, erected over the tomb of St Peter the Apostle, is the
largest religious building in the world, the fruit of the combined genius of Bramante, Raphael,
Michelangelo, Bernini and Maderna.'
