The centre of the Catholic world, this magnificent basilica with its Michelangelo designed dome has an awe-inspiring interior. A strict dress code is enforced for everyone. Construction of the basilica began in 1506 and it was not completed until the end of 1626. The overall design by Bramante and Michelangelo is Late Renaissance but the façade designed by Maderno and the interior, which owes much to Bernini, are both Baroque in style. The interior includes several tombs of popes, sculptures, chapels, including Michelangelo's Pieta.
