LOL INTERNET{{Infobox_Contents | topic_name = St. Peter's Basilica | subtopics = [[Vatican]] |opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}} |}} The Basilica of Saint Peter (Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano) is a famous [[Roman Catholic]] cathedral in the [[Vatican]] in [[Rome]]. Its dome (Michaelangelo's dome) is also the dominant feature of the Roman skyline. It has a capacity of over 60,000 people. It is traditionally the burial site of basilica namesake, the [[Apostle Peter]], who was one of the twelve apostles of [[Jesus]], and later, by tradition, believed to be the first [[Bishop of Rome]]. Construction on the current basilica began on April 18, 1506 and was completed in 1626, and was built over the Constantinian basilica. ==History== ==Architectural details== ==Tourism== ==Quotes== ==Links== * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Basilica Wikipedia - St. Peter's Basilica] {{returnto}} [[Church building]][[Category:Catholic Church]]
