Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli

San Pietro in Vincoli, Saint Peter in Chains
Italy, Rome
The church of San Pietro in Vincoli was built in 440 and is one of the seven great basilicas in Rome. The chains of St. Peter, handed over by the Empress Eudoxia to Pope Leo I, are kept in the church. The apostle was chained in these chains before his execution in the Marmentinsky dungeon. The temple houses the tomb of Pope Julius II, which was designed by Michelangelo. The tomb is decorated with statues of Leah and Rachel, as well as the famous sculpture of Moses.

Minelangelo again
This basilica is one of the most beloved by the Romans; the chains with which the Apostle Peter was chained to prison for preaching about Christ are kept here. Well, for fans of Michelangelo - an extraordinary figure of Moses. Visit on your own.→
