Explanation:
St. Peter's Basilica is one of the most visited places of Christianity. It has an area of 23,000 square meters and is capable of receiving over 60,000 devotees. Located on St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, the basilica is the most prominent building on the site and features 340 adorned statues. It is accompanied by three more patriarchal basilicas in Rome, which are: Basilica of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Extramuros. Although most papal ceremonies are held in St. Peter's Basilica, it is not the cathedral. The true official seat of the papacy is the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
