The Necropolis under St Peter’s Basilica

When in Rome, we went on the Scavi Tour underneath St Peter’s Basilica. In the diagram above you can see the underground necropolis that existed prior to Constantine’s construction of the original basilica.

I am firmly convinced that the skeleton of the 1st century man they found in the butress of St Peter’s grave is indeed St Peter himself.

One of the greatest experiences of my life was going to Mass at Peter’s tomb – number (1) on the diagram above.
