Lyngo is the center of the Catholic world, and St. Peter’s Basilica is also the main church of the Holy See. With a total area of 23,000 square meters, the cathedral can accommodate nearly 60,000 people to pray at the same time, making it the highest church in Christendom and the largest church in the world.
After your visit to the Vatican, visit the Castel Sant ‘Angelo on the banks of the Tiber River near the Vatican. It is now a museum with a collection of ancient armor, weapons and other military relics. The Ponte Sant ‘Angelo, which connects the castle, was built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD. During the Renaissance, Bernini and his students added ten sculptures of angels to the Ponte Sant ‘Angelo, each holding a crucifixion device.
It’s very beautiful and worth seeing.
