The Basilica is probably the biggest church of Christianity, covering an area of 5.7 acres and a capacity for over 60.000 people. It is considered one of the holiest (if not the holiest one) sites of Christendom, being the burial place of Saint Peter, one of the 12 apostles od Jesus, the founder of the Roman Catholic Church and the first Bishop of Antioch, later the first Bishop of Rome.
