In the St.Peter Basilica, just behind the famous Baldachin, is another masterpiece of Bernini, called the Chair of Saint Peter. The Cathedra Petri was designed and built between 1647 and 1653. It is a bronze throne built around a wooden chair which is believed to be the chair of St. Peter. Four fathers of the church are restraining the chair. They are Athanasius and Johannes, representing the Eastern Church and Ambrose and Augustine with miters, representing the Western Church.Bronze and golden clouds seems to raise the chair into a heaven of dancing angels, with beautiful stained glass in the middle, representing the wholly spirit, the dove. Magnificent designed by Bernini, using the wooden chair, bronze, gold, marble and brightly gold lighted stained glass. Perfectly placed in the apse of St. Peters's Basilica.

This is a very impressive place with so much architecture to see.You have to set time aside to just take everything in the building is a master piece!

You shouldnt tittle it "Chair of st Peter" because it doesnt do it any justice . Its a "God Masterpiece" Please zoom in your camera since you cant go near it and see what detailing they have done there. Its Breath-taking !

When you first see it, it does not me much but once you totally take it in you truly appreciate it. I recommend walking by the chair and then coming back and spending at least 10-20 minutes to truly appreciate its beauty.

This is just a drop in the bucket in terms of the amazing things that fill St. Peter's Basilica, but it is absolutely stunning. You can't really get too close to it, but it is enormous, a chair cased in bronze symbolizing his status as the first Pope. A must-see (just like everything else in Vatican City).

When you get inside this place, there is only one word to describe it. There are so many amazing sights in this place, you have to see them to believe them. Awesome

To see the chair is important history of Roman Catholic Church as St Peter was considered the first priest in Christian world . Jesus chose him to take care of his sheep as He is a good Shepherd and the key to Christian Church. The chair is his authority symbol as the leader of the church.

after entering the basilica,this monument stands at the far end .it is actually a colossal bronzed chair which is believed to be the chair of saint peter,who was the 1st saint.this chair signifies his symbol as authority as the leader of the church.around the chair are magnificent stained glass,which give a golden glow.the area is always crowded by tourists but being here gives a surreal,peaceful n spiritual feeling.though i am non catholic i felt great being here for those 10-15 minutes but its a must see inside the basilica.

The museum is realy an out if this world experience, but the church at the end of the tour was just "ok" for me. sure, its huge, but i didnt like it. (the one in Siena is far more amazing). and we didnt go up to the dome at the end cause the line was huge, and they wanted 7 euros more, after the 20 we already paid.
