St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City Welcome to the largest Christian church in the world… St. Peter’s Basilica (Basilica di San Pietro), Vatican A few truly interesting facts: • It features the tallest dome in the world (over 136 m). • It was built—according to tradition—over the burial site of the Apostle Peter. • The underground grottoes house the tombs of 91 popes, as well as other historical figures. 🪦 • The famous *Pietà* sculpture was created by Michelangelo when he was only 24 years old. It is the only work of art he ever signed. ✍️ • The colorful artworks adorning the walls and ceilings are not traditional paintings, but rather intricate mosaics made of ceramic and glass.
