It is the Vatican City's most noticeable structure. Its dome, which is 2.3 hectares in size, is a landmark of the Rome skyline. It is considered to be one of the holiest places in Christianity and Catholic tradition. It is customarily the place where its titular, St. Peter, who led the twelve Apostles of Jesus and was the first Bishop of Antioch and later the first Bishop of Rome, making him the first Pope, is buried. The basilica was built between April 18, 1506, and 1615. Ultimately, the Basilica was solemnly dedicated by Pope Urban on November 18, 1626. Among the Major Basilicas of Rome, St. Peter's Basilica is not the first in rank nor the official seat of the Pope. The Arch basilica of St. John Lateran, the mother church of all churches in communion with the Catholic Church, is the cathedral of the Pope and holds this honour.
