Church St. Peter’s Basilica - Vatican, Rome, Lazio - Italy
Catholic tradition holds that the Basilica is the burial site of Saint Peter, one of Christ's Apostles and also the first Pope. Saint Peter's tomb is supposedly directly below the high altar of the Basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St. Peter's since the Early Christian period, and there has been a church on this site since the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica, which would replace Old St. Peter's Basilica from the 4th century AD, began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.

Vatican, Vatican Palace, St Peter's Basilica, Rome - Vatikan in Rome
Vatican City i/ˈvætɨkən ˈsɪti/, or Vatican City State,[13] in Italian officially Stato della Città del Vaticano (pronounced [ˈstaːto della t͡ʃitˈta del vatiˈkaːno]),[14] is a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome. It has an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of just over 800.[3][15] This makes Vatican City the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population. The Pope is also the Head of State and Government of the Vatican City State.
Vatican City was established as an independent state in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty, signed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri, on behalf of Pope Pius XI and by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy.[16] The treaty spoke of it as a new creation (Preamble and Article III), not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756--1870) that had previously encompassed much of central Italy. Vatican City State is distinct from the Holy See,[17] which dates back to early Christianity and is the main episcopal see of 1.2 billion Latin and Eastern Catholic adherents around the globe. Ordinances of Vatican City are published in Italian; official documents of the Holy See are issued mainly in Latin. The two entities have distinct passports: the Holy See, not being a country, issues only diplomatic and service passports, whereas Vatican City State issues normal passports.
Vatican City is an ecclesiastical[3] or sacerdotal-monarchical[4] state, ruled by the Bishop of Rome—the Pope. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergymen of various national origins. It is the sovereign territory of the Holy See (Sancta Sedes) and the location of the Pope's residence, referred to as the Apostolic Palace. The Popes have generally resided in the area that in 1929 became Vatican City since the return from Avignon in 1377, but have also at times resided in the Quirinal Palace in Rome and elsewhere.

Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Basilica Di San Domenico
Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Basilica Di San Domenico
San Domenico is a Roman Catholic basilica church, located on Piazza Giordano Bruno and via del Castellano in the city of Perugia, region of Umbria, central Italy. A church, titled the Pieve di Santo Stefano del Castellare, was present at the site since about the 5th century. Construction of the precursor to the present church, also known as San Domenico Vecchio, began in 1304, and was constructed over the pre-existing church which had become inadequate after the growth of the Dominican Order. According to Giorgio Vasari, it was designed by Giovanni Pisano That church was consecrated in 1459, and had a layout that resembled the northern-European Hallenkirche plans.
By 1614–1615, the San Domenico Vecchio church was dilapidated, showing structural problems, and threatening collapse. New plans for refurbishment were implemented. The church façade retains a late 16th-century portal and is now double Baroque staircase. The interior was renovated in 1629–1632 by Carlo Maderno, and shows similarities with Maderno's design of the nave of St Peter's in Rome, except San Domenico has small lateral windows.
Of the prior San Domenico church, some fragments remain: the cloister (1455–1579), the chapel of St Catherine, and a large Gothic rose window (21 x 8.5 m) near the choir, executed by Bartolomeo di Pietro and Mariotto di Nardo in 1411. This window is also shown in a fresco now in the Palazzo dei Priori of Perugia. The bell tower was built in 1454–1500 by the Lombard architect Gasperino di Antonio. Originally it was taller than its current appearance, but it was later reduced for stability reasons.
Over the centuries, some of the movable artwork inside the church was removed. It still contains the 14th-century funerary monument to Pope Benedict XI, who died at Perugia in 1304 (perhaps executed by a pupil of Arnolfo di Cambio). It still has the altar (1459) of the Chapel of the Rosary by Agostino di Duccio and wooden choir-stalls, dating to the late 14th century. The church once housed also the Perugia Altarpiece (Guidalotti Polyptych) by Fra Angelico, now in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. The Chapel of St Catherine has 14th and 15th-century frescoes. The annexed cloister houses the National Archaeological Museum of Umbria, with pre-historic, Roman and Etruscan items excavated in Umbria.

Assisi, the Basilica of St Francis - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Assisi is a medium-sized city in central Italy, and famous for being the home of St Francis, one of the most venerated saints in Christianity. Founder of the Franciscan order of monks, Francis is also the patron saint of Italy, a receiver of stigmata and a famous traveller and diplomat. The places of his birth, work, death, and burial are all places of pilgrimage within Assisi, and intriguing places to visit.
As the main two basilicas are places of pilgrimage and worship, photography isn't permitted inside - so it's external shots only, sorry about that!

VATICANO - An organ unique to Italy
Breathtaking with its art and marble construction, this chapel for US-priests in Rome holds an unexpected treasure.
Somewhere in the 1860’s the American bishops who ran this, when this house was the American seminary and not the residence as it was for priests today. At some point in that time they purchased an organ from a man that was the most famous organ builder in the world. Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

ITALY: EXPLORING the cave of ST FRANCIS ???? (SAN FRANCESCO D' ASSISI)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit The Eremo delle Carceri which is a hermitage complex located in a steep forest gorge in Umbria, in central Italy, four kilometers above Assisi.
In the 13th century, Saint Francis of Assisi would often come to this place to pray and contemplate, as did other hermits before him. When he first came in 1205, the only building here was a tiny 12th-century oratory. Soon, other men followed him to the mountain, finding their own isolated caves nearby in which to pray. The oratory became known as Santa Maria delle Carceri after the small prisons occupied by friars in the area.
Francis dedicated himself to a life of preaching and missions, but throughout his life he would frequently withdraw to the Carceri to pray.
In the centuries that followed, various buildings were added around St. Francis' cave and the original oratory, forming the sizable complex that exists today. Today some Franciscan monks live there and visitors are welcome.
Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins. Other major cities include Florence, with Renaissance masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi's Duomo; Venice, the city of canals; and Milan, Italy’s fashion capital.
