What to expect
The Basilica of Saint Peter is one of the largest buildings in the world, with 218 meters in length, a dome that reaches 133 meters, for a total area of about 23,000 square meters. It is connected to the Vatican buildings by a raised corridor and the Scala Regia. Along the aisles, the 45 altars and 11 chapels host many masterpieces of historical and artistic value, including several works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and others from the previous basilica, such as the bronze statue of San Pietro attributed to Arnolfo di Cambio. Designed by Michelangelo and completed by Della Porta and Fontana in 1588-89, the dome surprises for size and harmony, characteristics that are appreciated in the demanding but gratifying climb that allows you to discover its construction secrets. Arriving on the terrace, the 330 steps of the staircase lead to an internal circular corridor from which you can see closely the mosaics realized by Cavalier d’Arpino in 1605.
They display works from the immense collection amassed by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the centuries: Vatican museums has more than 20,000 artifacts in display, from the glories of ancient Greece and Egypt to Middle ages Renaissance works. Admire pine cone courtyard, Egypt and Etruscan collections, glorious tapestries, Gallery of Maps, painted ceilings and large scale frescoes by Raphael.
The most visited chapel in the world, seat of the conclave and a fascinating place to admire Michelangelo's frescoes
