St. Peter's Cathedral is a grandiose creation of art and spirituality, the heart of the Vatican and one of the greatest architectural wonders of the world. Its majestic facade impresses at first glance, and a spacious portico leads inside, hiding the incredible luxury of the interiors.
Under the dome, designed by Michelangelo, you feel like a part of eternity. Every element here, from the marble columns to the magnificent Bernini canopy, is filled with grandeur and meaning. And under the altar lies one of the most revered places of Christianity – the tomb of St. Peter.
Climbing the dome, you can see Rome from a bird's—eye view - a view that is impossible to forget. St. Peter's Cathedral is not just a temple, but a symbol of faith, art and the greatness of human genius.

A fantastic, stunning Temple! We were tempted to go there during our entire 8-day Roman trip. First, we went there in the evening, for a 6-hour evening service after visiting the Vatican museums. First, we spent the whole day in museums, then in the Cathedral. Then they came after visiting the Castle of St. Angelo... And the final time is on the last day before the flight to Moscow...The most memorable is Michelangelo's Pieta... The temple leaves an unforgettable impression with its power, magnificent paintings, frescoes and sculptural compositions...My only regret is that we didn't manage to climb the dome... Apparently, this is the reason for the next trip to Rome... And yes, the entrance to the Cathedral itself is still free. To climb the dome and tour the underground rooms - with tickets.
