A building of cultural prominence

Spanning the reign of 20 popes and every famous Renaissance architect you can name, St. Peter’s Basilica is the most important of the four major basilicas in Rome. It’s also easily one of Rome’s most recognizable buildings. The basilica’s elaborate dome stands out in the Eternal City’s skyline—serving as a compass for all who wander Rome’s streets. It is situated at the heart of Rome in Vatican City. The guards of the city wear a colorful and a distinct uniform. #trip #travel #rome #vaticancity #culture
