Description
Chapels of San Pietro in Vincoli Saint Peter in Chains on the Oppian Hill near the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. The church is best known for housing Michelangelo`s statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. The church takes its name from an important relic: the chains said to have bound St Peter in Jerusalem and Rome, presented as gift to Pope Leo I by Empress Eudoxia in the fifth century. According to legend, when Leo compared the chains to those used in St Peter`s final imprisonment in Rome`s Mamertine Prison, the two chains fused together miraculously. Today the chains can be viewed in a reliquary under the main altar of the church.
