Visiting St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City
St. Peter’s Basilica, in Vatican City, is the world’s largest Christian church, housing magnificent Renaissance and Baroque art. It stands near where St. Peter, the first pope, was martyred. Visitors can see Michelangelo’s Pieta, climb the 448-foot dome, and admire Bernini’s Baldachino. Entry to the church is free, but there are costs for the treasury museum and dome climb.
