The Cupola di San Pietro is the dome that covers the intersection of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. It is one of the largest and most beautiful domes in the world, designed by Michelangelo Buonarroti and completed by Giacomo della Porta and Domenico Fontana. The dome has a diameter of 42 meters and a height of 133 meters. It is decorated with beautiful mosaics and symbols of the Christian faith. From the dome you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Rome and St. Peter's Square.

While the visit to the basilica is free, the visit to the dome is chargeable. You can take the elevator to the first floor. You can then go to the second floor with a narrow staircase.

The dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican is an architectural marvel that has left an indelible mark on history. It was conceived and built down to the drum by Miguel Ángel Buonarroti. After the death of Michelangelo, the architect Giacomo della Porta continued his work with Domenico Fontana.
