St Peter's Basilica in Rome is arguably the most important church
in Western Christendom, and is among the most significant buildings
anywhere in the world. However, the church that is visible today is
a youthful upstart, only four hundred years old compared to the
twelve-hundred-year-old church whose site it occupies. A very small
proportion of the original is now extant, entirely covered over by
the new basilica, but enough survives to make reconstruction of the
first St Peter's possible and much new evidence has been uncovered
in the past thirty years. This is the first full study of the older
church, from its late antique construction to Renaissance
destruction, in its historical context. An international team of
historians, art historians, archaeologists and liturgists explores
aspects of the basilica's history, from its physical fabric to the
activities that took place within its walls and its relationship
with the city of Rome.
