Considering that the Vatican City is home to the pope and the seat of Catholicism, it comes to reason that it also has the world’s biggest church, St. Peter’s Basilica. This Roman Catholic Church is the seat of Papal power and is located in Vatican City, an enclave in Italy. Named after the venerated saint whose tomb lies within, the spectacular Renaissance style basilica proudly exhibits a colossal facade and dome, with the colonnade-lined St. Peter’s Square leading up to it. This church was designed at the height of the Renaissance by the famous artist Michelangelo and has the tallest dome in the world measuring more than 136 meters. This is the largest church in the world with an internal area of 15160 square meters that stretches over 186 meters in length. Covered in marble, its floors stretch endlessly away before you, with breathtaking statues, centuries-old artworks, and glittering treasures all on display. If you’re not afraid of heights or confined spaces, climb up the 320 stairs to the top of the dome and enjoy dazzling views over the city as your reward. #St. Peter’s Basilica #Places #Travel
