St. Peter's tomb

St. Peter's tomb is believed to be the burial site of Saint Peter, one of Jesus Christ's apostles and the first pope. Located beneath the Basilica of Saint Peter in Vatican City, the tomb lies beneath the main altar and was identified through archaeological excavations and early Christian writings. Over centuries, religious tradition and limited scientific evidence support the idea that Peter's remains are there. While some debate exists, the site remains a significant pilgrimage destination for Catholics, symbolizing the spiritual foundation of the papacy and the enduring legacy of Saint Peter.
