St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City is an iconic and popular landmark of Rome. Regarded as one of the most holiest sites in the Christian world, many make a pilgrimage to the cathedral every year to celebrate Mass with the Pope.

Building work for this grand structure originally began in 1506 and is the burial site of it's namesake Saint Peter, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. One of the key architects of the Basilica was Michelangelo and some of his original drawings for a section of the Dome were found as recently as 2007.
