St. Peter's cathedral is a humongous cathedral that was built in the year 45 AD in place of pope Nero's amphitheater. The amphitheater was a place where Nero held gladiator fights and killed people for their beliefs. People decided to build a church were St Peter was killed and this is where St Peter's was built. St Peters took a long time to build and many architects planned the building. Even Michelangelo painted some of the huge dome. The dome is as big as an skyscraper! You have to climb 40 flights of stairs to get to the top of the dome!
