This is the largest church in the world. Everything in St. Peters is made of marble, bronze, or gold. What appear to be paintings are all mosaics. Beneath the basilica are the Catacombs where the bones of St. Peter were believed to be found. It was a bit haunting to walk through these underground tombs where all of the Popes have been buried. We wern't allowed to take pictures in the Catacombs, but I was allowed to get a shot of St. Julie in front of the church.
