Vatican City
St. Peter's Basilica, raised over the tomb of the apostle Peter, is the largest church in the world and the centre of the Roman Catholic Church. Michelangelo's dome crowns an interior holding his Pietà and Bernini's bronze baldachin over the papal altar. The vast piazza before it was laid out by Bernini.
