St. Peter's Basilica (Basilica di San Pietro). The splendid square and colonnade, Bernini's finest work, form a superb entryway to the greatest church of Christendom. The Pope is the Bishop of Rome and Sovereign of the Vatican City (a city within a city) and this has been the case since the time of St. Peter. At the time of Christ, Rome was the Capital of the Roman Empire - the most important City in the Western world.
