St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome
Posted by admin
St Peter’s Square is a great place to hang out in Rome and a trip here wouldn’t be complete without seeing St Peter’s Basilica, which stands behind the square.
People come from near and far just to see Saint Peter’s Basilica, Seat of the Catholic religion. This well known basilica is one of Rome’s most famous attractions and is renowned to be the traditional burial site of Saint Peter. His tomb is below the baldachin and altar; for this reason, many Popes, starting with the first ones, have been buried there, including Pope John Paul II in 2005. The altar also holds a relic of the Cathedra Petri, which is, according to Catholic tradition, the episcopal throne of St. Peter.
Built between 1506 to 1626 on the ruins of the Old Saint Peter’s Basilica (4th cent.), this incredible attraction is not only enormous but also holds several striking memorials and monuments within it. The Basilica covers an area of 5.7 acres and can hold over 60,000 people. It is filled with many masterpieces and unfortunately, it is impossible to view them all in just one visit. Highlights of this visit are three attractions, namely Michelangelo’s Pieta, the superb dome originally designed by Michelangelo, and thirdly, the famous 29m high baroque baldachin by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, which can be found over the main altar. Included are the “Holy Door,” Raphael’s Transfiguration, the enthroned statue of St. Peter, and the preserved bodies of Popes Pius X and John XXIII.
Piazza San Pietro, designed by Bernini in the 17th century with large crowds in mind, is round in shape, very spacious, with two enormous columns (Tuscan colonnades) defining the outline of the square. These columns are supported by four rows of Doric pillars that are 60ft tall.
There is a 13th century b.c. Egyptian obelisk standing in the center of the square. The Vatican obelisk is the only obelisk in Rome that has not toppled since the Roman times - that’s a feat in itself. This obelisk is made from red granite and stands 25.5m tall. This magnificent structure is supported on bronze lions and it is said that the gilt ball on top of the obelisk contains the ashes of Rome’s most famous emperor, Julius Caesar himself.

In the 11th century a catholic man St Malachi [or Malachy]
he had a vision that there

Revelation 17:9 says city will be on 7 Hills.
Rome is called by tourist guides the city of 7 Hills.
Pope Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) = 111th pope
