Vatican｜Must-visit St. Peter's Basilica

St. Peter's Basilica is the largest cathedral in the world. It is located in Vatican City, the smallest country in the world. It covers a total area of ​​23,000 square meters and can accommodate up to 60,000 people at the same time. St. Peter's Basilica is also known as one of the most outstanding buildings of the Renaissance. Many famous architects and artists of the Renaissance, including Donato Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, have participated in the design and construction of St. Peter's Basilica. The process spanned 120 years and was finally completed in 1626, becoming one of the most important symbols of the Catholic Church. The exterior of St. Peter's Basilica is magnificent, and the interior is also eye-opening. The artworks are extremely rich and more gorgeous and detailed than many museums. It takes a lot of time to see them all. The "Umbrella of the Holy Eucharist", "Pietà" and "Bronze Statue of St. Peter" known as the three treasures of St. Peter's Basilica are definitely not to be missed. #Sakura2024 #Italy #Rome #Vatican
