It is the largest Christian cathedral and the center of the Roman Catholic Church. The capacity of the cathedral is about 60 thousand people. On the facade of the cathedral there are statues of Christ, John the Baptist and 11 Apostles. Amazing experiences for the rest of your life! Just an incredible Sistine Chapel!!! Michelangelo's stunning frescoes on the vault!!! It is incomprehensible to the mind how this was done?!The grandiose place, the scale, the centuries-old history, the amazing creations of the masters, the works of art and architecture, the atmosphere! Go up to the observation deck under the dome of the cathedral and take a look around. There is also a beautiful square in front of the cathedral, Swiss Guards, fountains, an obelisk, and a colonnade...

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.
