Saint Peter's Basilica. Possibly the most recognized and celebrated religious building in the world, St. Peter's Basilica is a real triumph of the power and decadence of the Catholic religion and is considered one of the holiest sanctuaries for its followers. Located at the far end of St. Peter's Square, the Basilica has a beautifully designed front facade and is crowned with statues of the Apostles and Jesus. Inside the basilica, the architecture and decoration are simply divine and it is considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. You will be amazed by the amount of decoration and detail and the way the light falls in amazing rays at certain points of the day. Both Michelangelo and Bernini contributed to the design and you can see their works in the huge dome, as well as the amazing Gloria sculpture. Don't forget to climb to the top of the dome for an aerial view of St. Peter's Square!
