St. Peter's Basilica counts among its contributors and creators some of the most famous architects and artists of the Renaissance: Bramante, Bernini, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
It was built on the site of the Circus of Nero, and Catholic tradition holds that St. Peter, the original disciple of Jesus Christ and the first Pope of the Catholic Church, was crucified and buried where the current church now stands.
