Kurzbeschreibung

St. Peter crucified in 64 A.D. was burried among some Christian martyrs in the ’ager vaticanus’. Recognizing Christianity with the Edict of Milan, the Emperor Constantine started building a large church in the 4th century. The tomb of St. Peter was placed in the center.
Julius II (1503-1513) pulled down Constantine’s basilica and built the new St. Peter’s, planned and constructed by Michelangelo. In the mid-16th century, the central part of St. Peter’s was covered with a beautiful vaulted dome by Giacomo della Porta.
Maderno added two bays in the early 17th century, later on Bernini completed the Piazza San Pietro, giving this place todays appearance.
