Standing at the heart of Vatican City, it is simultaneously the spiritual centre of the Catholic Church, the largest Christian church ever built, and one of the most audacious architectural undertakings in human history. To walk across the travertine stones of St. Peter's Square and approach that vast façade is to feel centuries of ambition pressing against the Roman sky.
