First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva visited Saint Peter’s Basilica to review the progress of the restoration works.
Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, Archpriest of Saint Peter's Basilica, provided First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva with detailed information about the Basilica and the restoration process there.
The largest church in the world - Saint Peter's Basilica is considered the religious center of the Catholic world and is one of the four Papal basilicas in the Vatican. In terms of architecture, the church is one of the most outstanding buildings of humanity. While its foundation was laid in the 4th century, the current building represents the 16th-17th centuries.
On February 28, 2019, an agreement was signed between the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and Saint Peter's Basilica on the restoration of the bas-relief of the "meeting between Pope Leo I and Hun Emperor Attila" located in the church and the "Tullius Zetus" mausoleum in the basilica's necropolis. Restoration work on the project has been completed.
Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archbishop of Saint Peter's Basilica, expressed his deep appreciation to First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva for the high-level and rapid implementation of the restoration work carried out in the church.
