“The greatest of all churches of Christendom” is the burial place of Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles and the first Bishop of Rome. Saint Peter is considered the most beautiful building of its age, from an architectural point and one of the holiest places in the world.
Saint Peter is believed to be buried under the altar of the basilica, along with 91 popes, artists and royalty like James Francis Edward Stuart, Roman Emperor Otto II or Queen Christina of Sweden.
