St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, Italy

So we move down from the Castle to the famous St. Peter’s Cathedral, the largest church in Christendom. This amazing structure was designed by Michelangelo during the Renaissance, who also worked on the nearby Sistine Chapel of course. Beautiful from the outside, you will also be awed when you step inside. Look to your left and see Michelangelo’s famous Pieta statue, now behind glass after a crazy Hungarian attacked it with a hammer a few decades ago. Be sure to take the trip up to the top of the dome – you will stand outside near the highest point with glorious views all around
