  • Basilique St Pierre. <br />
Cité du Vatican. Située sur ce que l'on appelait dans l'antiquité l'ager Vaticanus, aux bords du Tibre, et à quelque distance des Monts Vaticani, elle se dresse sur les anciens« jardins impériaux » qui furent propriété d'Agrippine.<br />
Son fils, l'empereur Caligula , y fit construire un cirque privé, le Circus Vaticanus, dont l'obélisque planté en plein coeur de la Piazza San Pietro constitue un de ses seuls vestiges. Dans ce cirque eut lieu le martyre de nombreux chretiens à l'époque de Néron.<br />
St Pierre fut enterré au nord de ce cirque puis l'empereur Constantin fit édifier une basilique grandiose sur le cirque. Cette edifice fut remplacé par l'actuelle basilique au cours des XVIe et XVIIe siècles.
