The Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli, also known as Saint Peter in Chains, is a Roman Catholic titular church and minor basilica located on the Oppian Hill in Rome, near the Colosseum¹.

The basilica was originally built in the 5th century to house the chains that bound Saint Peter when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem. These chains are now kept in a reliquary under the main altar².

The basilica has undergone several reconstructions, with notable contributions from architects like Giuliano da Sangallo and Baccio Pontelli¹.

One of the most famous features of the basilica is Michelangelo's statue of Moses, which is part of the tomb of Pope Julius II².

Inside, you'll find stunning artworks, including a fresco of the Miracle of the Chains by Giovanni Battista Parodi and other notable sculptures and tombs².
