    San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains) is a Roman Catholic church in Rome, best known for being the home of Michelangelo's statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. San Pietro in Vincoli was built during the fifth century to house the relic of Saint Peter’s chains when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem. The Basilica San Pietro in Vincoli is well worth visiting not only because of its unique decoration and Michelangelo’s massive statue of Moses, but because it is unlike any other Roman church.
