Basilica di San Pietro

Located in the Monti district, San Pietro in Vincole is a Catholic church from the 5th century. The church is famous for the presence of a statue (Moses) by the famous Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, and it is also famous for the presence of the tomb of Julius II. And if we translate the name from the Latin language, we will get the meaning of Saint Pietro in the chains, in relation to the chains and shackles that were used in Saint Pietro’s prison, and you can see these chains in the church itself, as they are preserved there until the present time.
