St. Peter s Basilica Church, also known as St. Peter's Cathedral, Vatican Hall. Designed by Michelangelo, it is a Catholic monastery in the Vatican. It was built from 1506 to 1626. It is one of the most important symbols of the Catholic Church and the largest church in the world. Many Italian Renaissance architects and artists such as Donato Brahmond, Raphael, Antonio Jr. Da Sangaro have participated in the design of St. Peter's Cathedral. Three treasures in the church - "one is Michelangelo's sculpture "Notre Dame's grief" when he was 24 years old. The sadness of the Virgin Mother holding her dead son and her submission to God's will are vividly depicted in her works. The painful image of the Virgin Mary here is quite different from Michelangelo's later works. The second is Bernini's carved bronze canopy. It is supported by four spiral copper pillars, five stories high enough. On the semi-circular railing in front of Huagai, there are always 99 lanterns, and below them are the altar of the throne and the tomb of St. Peter. Only the Pope can hold Mass in front of the rising sun in front of the pilgrims on this altar. The third is the throne of St. Peter, which is also a gold-plated bronze throne designed by Bernini. Above the throne is a wooden chair with shining niches of glory and ivory ornaments. On the back of the chair are two little angels, holding the key to the Heavenly Kingdom and the triple crown of the Pope. Legend has it that this wooden chair was the true throne of St. Peter and was later certified as a gift from King Techa II of Carolina. The sculptures, paintings, murals and articles in the church are all very beautiful. I'm afraid I can't see them for a month. If I'm interested, I can find relevant documentaries and documentaries.

    This is the largest church in the world and there is quite a bit of space. St Peter's Basilica is large and very spectacular. We took a guided tour and it was worth it as we had a lot of knowledge about different parts of Basilica.

    Time-saving and labor-saving experience. There is no queue in the whole process. The local Italian English explanation is a little accent. It sounds a bit laborious. The explanation is very lazy and comfortable with Italians. Overall it is good.

    Going to Rome must go to the Vatican, very beautiful church. There are many tourists, so you must go early. It is recommended to lie on the top floor of the church, the scenery is beautiful. You can take the elevator up, but you still have to climb the stairs yourself. But it is worth it.

    St. Peter's Cathedral, also known as St. Peter's Cathedral, was built between 1506 and 1626 and is an important symbol of the Catholic Church. The church covers an area of 23,000 square meters and can accommodate more than 60,000 prayers. In the center of the church is a 42-meter-diameter vault with a ceiling of about 138 meters. The church contains frescoes and sculptures of many European Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael. According to the Catholic Church, St. Peter's Cathedral is the burial place of St. Peter, the elder of the apostles, where most of the previous popes are buried. St. Peter's Cathedral is one of the famous Catholic pilgrimage sites, where many religious ceremonies are held every year. Inside the church, there are mainly sacred sculptures, St. Peter's chairs, the pope's altar and so on. In the basement of the church, there are the tombs of the popes of all ages. Climb the dome of the church and see a panoramic view of St. Peter's Square.

    The world's largest church can hold 60,000 churches at the same time, the Catholic temple. The church was built in the sixteenth century, more than a hundred years in Wanyi. Architectural design and interior decoration embodied the efforts of a group of the most dazzling stars in the Renaissance period. For example, Michelangelo, Rafael, Bernini and others, the dome designed by Michelangelo in the church and the youth sculpture Saint Martyr, the altar and throne designed by Bernini, as well as all kinds of sculptures, reliefs, murals and saints throughout the church, are all exquisite works, so don't show flowers. The crowds of visitors to the church line up on the square every day. It's better to visit the Vatican Museum first and then the Sistine Chapel. There's a small door on the right side of the Sistine Chapel that leads directly to St. Peter's Cathedral, so you only need to line up once when you enter the museum.
