St. Peter’s Basilica, located in Vatican City, is one of the most famous churches in the world and a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. It stands on the site where Saint Peter, one of Jesus Christ’s twelve apostles and the first Pope, is believed to be buried. The original Old St. Peter’s Basilica was commissioned by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD and remained a place of pilgrimage for centuries.
The Construction of the Modern Basilica
In the early 16th century, Pope Julius II ordered the construction of a new, grander basilica to replace the deteriorating original. This led to a monumental architectural project involving some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance.
