This vast sixteenth-century Italian renaissance cathedral replaced an earlier structure dating from the fourth century, St. Peter's draws pilgrims and tourists alike from all over the world - and is still the world's largest religious building. Don't miss either the famous Swiss guards or the climb to the top of the dome for a panoramic view of Rome.
